I do about 5 gal per day. you have to remember the 2 or 3 gal per day at a little higher PH and ALK is not going to impact your tank much unless you have next to no Ca demand. I feel a lot of people under estimate the ACa demand of there tank.. the best way would be to not add any supplements for a time period say 3 days or 1 week if you feel the demand is low. measure your Ca at the start then again after the time period and see how much your Ca and your Alk drop.. then you can do the same thing with the kalk reactor running test ever week and see where it stabalizes.
