Just a spot-check. This setup is on borrowed time
pending completion of the automation in the basement. |

The Calc and Alk are closer to being in balance, since both
are low. All is well. |

Both Calcium and Alk are low after a week away on vacation,
so they are probably close to balanced now. |

Calcium has been lowered by adding KH buffer slowly over the
past month or so. KH is still low, probably because the added KH has
been consumed in precipitating the extra calcium. Hopefully the KH
dose I added tonight will stabilize the situation. |

Calcium reading is high and possibly suspect; I will retest
over the weekend to confirm. |

Cooler weather has made the fan during the day cool more
than needed. I'll try running without it tomorrow. |
