I use the jebeo it works well for me there are lots of YouTube videos that explain setup ect.
Personally I would suggest to pick a salt mix that is as close to the parameters you want to keep in your tank.
Right now your alk drops through the week and then you spike it up on water change day and then it slowly depletes. These swings are hard on coral and invertebrates. It doesn’t have to be exact just close enough not to swing alk ect.
To maximize stability your best bet is to dose 2 part daily then when you do water changes to clean your tank/supply trace elements the mix you put in matches your water chemistry so everything stays stable.
Figure out your weekly demand for alk then devide it by 7 to get your daily need just match calcium to that and dose an hour apart or at midnight for alk and noon for calcium. Test the alk after a couple days see if it’s stable if not adjust up or down slightly then when your close test once a week.
I like aqua forests abc to dose for alk calcium and mag and trace element then I just vacuum and do a small water change every couple of weeks super easy.
