I've never really taken the time to read how each param affects the other. I just bring levels up to ideal with my chems and keep guessing with my doses in small increments starting from a very small amount and test at the end of the week. Then I adjust.

Dosing daily should be the most stable method. I currently in my 34g bring mag up to normal in my Reef Crystals (other 2 levels are higher than target) and dose alk and calcium with a syringe in set amounts. Once in the morning (an hour between each) and once in the evening (also an hour inbetween).

I have been slowly increasing levels that I dose every week or two as demand ramps up so usually I'm just a little off with alk and calcium since I'm trying to guess the right dose but that amount changes as demand rises too. I'm very close and some weeks I get the exact targets when I test.
