All for reef releases alkalinity during the day as the calcium formate is converted by bacteria so you don’t necessarily have to dose throughout the day and can just dose once a day if that’s easier.

In my 210, I dose 30 mL a day all at once and my alkalinity sits between 9-9.25 dKh throughout the day and night.
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
