I was dosing alk at night midnight to 9am, only to find late eve my Alk was low. Total Alk I am dosing is 115ml a day. Is it better to dose the 115ml at night or should I dose over a 24 hr period? My thinking now is maybe better to dose 24hr to keep Alk stable. Which way is right? Thanks
 
At night when all the light are off the tank pH drops. Because of this reason if you are going to dose mall over 12 hrs I would dose at night. However I use saturated kalk for top off and dose it continuously for 24 hrs by dosing pump.
It really does not mater all that much IMO

Dose as many times as possible over a 24 hour period. Stability = King. That's why Calcium Reactors are the best, it's constant dosing non stop.
