You can do it like that but you will have to figure what your tank is using day by day, Then you can set your dosing pump to dose the right amount. Start with a little less at first and test daily till you get it right on

well do you have any other equipment to sustain your Alk & Calc. Also what size is your system? Total water volume, take in account to rock ect

I would back off on your two part a bit, mix up some kalk ( a little weak to start) and do 35 mils a day. Check your system daily, You can mix your kalk a little stronger if your parameters are off .

Really that's it 35 ml a day I can dose 24 times a day but really only 34 ml don't seem right I was using alot of two part almost 200 ml of each a day

you cant just jump in full bore, day by day you make your adjustments, I would start by backing down my two part and add the kalk. If you want to start with more you could safely bump it up. Every tank is different. You will be tweeking things for a while to dial it in
