Default How would you dose?

Hey guys,

ok so my magnesium seems to be ok-ish and so Im going to focus on my Alk and Calcium readings especially since my calcium product does does some magnesium and so Im going to try to get them to change as follows:

Calcium from 400 PPM to 435 PPM
Alk from 5.6 dkH to 10 dkH

So I punched in my products (Seachem Reef Advantage Calcium dry and regular baking soda) into the calculator and it suggests dosing as follows:

13.3 teaspoons of calcium
21.2 teaspoons of baking soda

Now it says not to dose all at once, especially the baking soda, because it will effect my pH.

So I just wanna know how you guys would dose this amount into your tank? Im thinking of dosing it over 4 days, baking soda first of course, so just quarter the amounts and test half way through to double check its effecting things as I anticipated.

What do you think?
