No. It depletes very slowly.

sorry should have been more accurate my reason for asking this question was i was thinking about the extra dos due to the fact that im thinking about getting the trident so i can i use it for the control dosing on my apex

I dose both calcium and alkalinity. ALK with a doser. Calcium by hand because variations here seem to have less effect.

For magnesium, water changes keep it pretty stable in my system.

Manual once a week or 2 weeks will certainly be fine. It is also fine to automate it based on alk or calcium dosing.
