Ok.. so, I hope I am not in the process of befuddling my tank, if so, I'm only 1 day in so I can cut it, but here's what I'm looking at:
Aquavitro has a listed suggested dosing schedule. Now, I realize that it is only a suggestion, but this is what I'm trying. Instead of dosing that much at one time though, I took the total dosage for a week, multiplied by a month, and then broke it apart over 30 days. I have my doser set up to run roughly 2-3ml over the course of the day of their 8-4, Ions, Calcifier and Balance. 8-4 at night when my pH is particularly problematic, balance in late afternoon into evening ions and calcifier during the day about 4 hour in between doses of each. I am dosing light for my tank size. I think it suggested 7ml/ 25-30 gallons depending on the additive, and that's all I'm doing. I've got roughly 72gal of total water volume.

My question is, is this an ok starting point and then adjust dosage according to need?
 
Yeah i think you hit the nail on the head there, always start off with a low dosage and increase if needed which is what you're doing, i would also check my PH, alkalinity and calcium to make sure nothing is going wrong and to see if something is going right...

Ok. This is my first foray into automated dosing. I figured I'd let it go through a full cycle of dosage and then check what I've got.
