I have a 55 gallon tank it says to use 5ML for every 26 gallons so I’m not understanding. Should I use 10 ML will 10 ML hurt my corals they say is better to raise it one a day ppm 1

You'll have to adjust the dose to match your tank needs (do that based on alk, not calcium, IMO), but it's a fine way to go and I'd start now at the TM recommended dose.

it says 5ML for every 26 gallons. I have a 55 gallon. I don’t know if it’s right to put in 10 ML would it affect my corals? for the drastic raise

I'm not sure why you are hesitant, since both I and Tropic Marine have said its fine to start at their recommended dose and adjust as needed. Adding 10 mL is not a drastic rise in anything. It adds significantly less than 0.5 dKH.

Is the only thing you changed was dosing All for Reef?
