DECEMBER PLAN: Bring up ALk to 8.6 and after that is achievced I will begin to dose 5ml/day B-Ionic solution to keep alkalinity stable and I will monitor Calcium to see when I need to dose. To remove Cyano bacteria I will Keep up a weekly water change schedule and manually remove what I can. Testing will be done bi-weekly before waterchange and once after to monitor progress.

As of Right now:
Alk: 8.23
Ca: 435
