Hey guys, I have 135 gallon tank with a 40 gallon sump, minus rock and sand I have approximately 150 gallon water volume. I’ve been manually dosing 60-80ml of all and calcium a day. I’m losing about .6dkh a day of Alk while calcium is pretty much hovering 430-450.

I dose at night, and do my tests 20 minutes after. My Alk is at 8.3 and the next day same time before I dose, my alk is at 7.7. I’d like to stay stable at 8.3 but work 10 hr days. Should I set my doser to dose 10 times a day 6ml each time? So I can stay at 8.3.

Sorry for the rookie questions, I‘ve never uses a doser before.
 
I appreciate the replies! I’m still getting used the ghl doser. I should be able to figure it out this weekend
