hey everyone I'm just about to dose for the first time using red sea abc foundation

I looking to raise the alk level which is currently 7 my understanding from the research I've been doing online is to only raise it by 1 dkh at a time my target is 9

So according to the red sea calculator I need to add 22ml to get from 7 to 8dkh and I believe this can be done in one go adding slowly to high flow area so when do I dose again to go from 8-9?

My other question is I know I'm suppose to dose alk equally with calcium but calcium is at 480 do I still add the same amount of calcium to keep the balance or none at all

And my mag is 1320 so at what point do I dose this I'm assuming from what I've read and watched that I add at later date once test levels show me that the level has depleted

As always thank you to all you lovely people out there taking the time to read the above
 
Just to add tank was doing well at 9dkh since softies have been growing it has gone down
