With a controller and pumps you don't really have to dose daily
I typically check my parameters once a week or once every two weeks and change the frequency of my dosing pumps to handle the demand for different ingredients.

I do tend to measure my Alk quite frequently as Hanna made it super easy and it is a parameter which can easily affect the corals.

Ca should not fluctuate too much and i dose the same amount as the Alk as I use the BRS two part.

Mg is super easy to maintain as it typically doesn't fluctuate much. If you adjust the water change to the same as the display, then this should be a once a week dose, unless it needs to be raised more than 100, then it needs to be split.
