I want to start 2 part dosing sodium bicarbonate and calcium chloride. Ive read that they should be dosed in equal parts. So do I just mix both the same weight in 2 dosing containers and dose the same amount?

Yes. Make sure you do equal weight in powder and water. Use rodi water and weight the water.
Make sure you use a good dosingpump that is calibrated using the solution that they are going to pump. And recalibrate every 3 4 months.
