[Bighead]

i have a 90gal mixed reef
Cal 440-450

My question is I use Randy’s 2 part A
For example my tank uses 1 dkh of alk per day how do I figure how many ml of alk and cal to add with a doser

Can you use the BRS calculator and work it out ?

Isn’t the calculator intended to get to your desired level how do I maintain that level
I want to know how much two part to add on a daily basis to keep a steady level

What is your daily consumption (you've stated 1 dKh which should be easy)? Once you know that, calculating the dose is easy.

Edit: Calculator

Trial and error is the best way to arrive at a maintenance dose. The actual demand depends on alkalinity, so if you let the alk drop in a test, the demand also drops.

That said, the estimated daily demand from 1 day of not dosing is certainly a fine starting dose.
