It sounds like you were actually having fun with your dosing and
calculations though I may be wrong.  I think a good, cut to the chase
discussion can be found at George Boots website .
( http://www.frii.com/~booth/AquaticConcepts/ )  Theres also a
whole lot more at the Krib ( http://www.thekrib.com/ )

Seachem ( http://www.seachem.com ) has a new product called
"Equilibrium" which is designed as an R/O ion replenisher.  This  would
make things easier if that is your aim.
