Are you just trying to raise your dKH, or your calsium and magnesium aswell?
If just your dKH, then 1ml per 100 liters(25 gallons) will raise your dKh by 0.1

It should be the same. I use the liquid, not the powder, so not positive of that.
Yes, most people keep their dKH a little higher, but if you are happy with your tank then thats all that matters.
