I have a question as someone that’s new to dosing.
I took an Alk read 3 days ago and it was 9.0. Today my reading was 8.3 (3 days later). According to calculator it recommends to add 47ml of alk to bring it back to 9.0. So that also means I’m using just over 15ml per day.

what is the recommended way to get reading back to 9.0 in a reasonable time so I not shock any animals as well as set the 15ml for the daily dose to stabilize the Alk moving forward?

option 1) manual dose 47 ml and set dose pump to 15ml?

option 2) ?
 
I would just set up the pump to 15 ml a day (spread out probably) and then manually dose the 47 over the course of a day or two in addition to the 15 that's running on program. Whenever you have a chance over like 3 or 4 times spread out twice a day. No rush
