Two Part Dosing Seems High

Alkalinity is at 7.11 dkh for tonight's 10 pm reading. I will be leaving out of town for the week tomorrow. Hoping everything will work out. May do a 10 gallon water change in the morning.
 
So question here. My alk went down 0.34 dkh from yesterday. Do i dose the additional liquid soda ash to make up that 0.34 dkh? Would be around 20 additonal ml
 
So it’s been about two weeks since I’ve updated this. I got back from my trip and my tank was still about the same. I decided to cut my dosing down to 80 ml a day. I started to notice some improvements in stability. I’ve since lowered my dosing down to 60 ml a day. And my alkalinity has been right at 8.29 every night. I have even noticed my calcium start to rise up to a normal level. Before I was having issues maintaining 360 ppm. Now I’m at 380 ppm. I am hoping this level of dosing will help stabilize my tank and improve coral growth and over all health
 
Glad things are improving. When things are at the level you like you can go without dosing for a day or two and find out exactly how much your tank is actually consuming and stick with those numbers for a while.
