Alk,Calc, Mag solutions

[ReeferMaddness843]

I am interested in mixing my own solutions for dosing my tank. I have found a few recipes for said parameters, however haven't been able to find the relative dosing info to what the rise would be. Does anyone have a tried and true recipe for each of these parameters as well as a ml/gal ratio for a consistent rise. I can do the math to figure out for my tank specifically. Even a link to a thread I may have overlooked would be great. Always nervous to make changes but thought this may be a little more cost effective than consistently buying said dosing Chem.

Ex: 1ml = .035dkh rise in 25 gal

I am looking for basic solutions such as baking soda for alk, Epsom salt for mag, and nacl for calc.
Thanks in advance for any help.
