Hey guys quick question, I tested my tank alk and cal for 5 days to see the consumption over that time period. And I really only saw a swing of .6 dkh at the most. I’m thinking of dosing B Ionic 2 part to keep it stable. My tank is a 90 gallon softie dominated system and I feel like the bi weekly to monthly water changes aren’t keeping it stable. My tank consumes more than the water changes replenish, especially when trying to keep numbers stable. My question is can I dose 2 part every couple days or maybe once a week instead of daily? Because I don’t think I need to dose as often as daily. Thank you.

Yes.
More often is more stable.

Or you could change the water weekly.
