Before you start dosing I would ask a few things

first check levels preferable just before water change then in a week check the levels again and see what changed, what dropped? What stayed the same?

You need to figure out demand and usage before just dosing or you'll end up with parameters that are out of whack

How often do you do your WCs ?

For example I test before wc.... 2 weeks go by I test again before next one I see what levels dropped say for me it was Alk by 1.5 points and calcium by 30ish points and mag never changed

So for dosing I need to set up to replace the 1.5 Alk and calcium in between my WC

Set your doser and check the para every day for next few days to make sure your not over doing it or under doing it
