OK, I watched it. I'm not a big fan of a slurry for several reasons, but folks do use it OK.

There is one technical chemistry jargon misuse, but I'll leave that as a reef chemistry question of the day for chemistry nerds to decipher.

I wouldn't look forward to dosing and definatly would not unless necessary. Like @ilikefish69 stated the hobby is difficult enough already.
That said I dose kalk but in a larger system about 220g total I dose to keep alk up and also dose 2 part. The kalk I drip with a brs doser on a timer 24/7 45 minutes on 5 minutes off.
I have a similar size system. Wondering how much Kalk you drip and how often with the doser? Just for a reference while I consider it. I know I'd have to dial it in myself.
