trouble raising alk and cal

I would do the diy two part system. see: https://www.reef2reef.com/forums/reef-chemistry-forum/39332-do-yourself-two-part-links.html

in that system you do one time adjustment which in your system would not be much.

then mix up a gallon of calcium, a gallon of alk, a gallon of mag dosing solutions.

then dose equal amounts of calcium and alk when the alk drops down. and dose magnesium after using up a gallon of the cal and alk dosing solutions.

in that way the tank is telling you when to dose by doing a quick alk test.
