I think a lot of my problem was having 149ppms and then using CalMag on top of it.

Something to note, if you're getting a reading of 149ppm TDS from your tap, that's not going to be Chlorine, it's going to be dissolved solids such as calcium, iron, magnesium etc which are very important to your plant.
This is why I don't add and calcium and magnesium to plants watered from the tap. I find that calcium and magnesium additives aren't necessary unless plants are being watered with reverse osmosis water.

You know what they say about hindsight.lol. I think I was just so nervous to fuck something up that I missed a lot of obvious issues I was creating.
Yea, nah. I just know better than to add calmag to tap water is all. Don't be so anxious. Control your emotions. Calm down, do your research and plan - plan - plan before you grow.

Well, if bubbling the water isn't necessary for the dechlorinization of the reservoir water (in theory), then bubbling the water is certainly beneficial for the oxygenization of said water.
