I picked up a 120vac BRS 1.1ml a minute single doser for Alk. I am having a hard time keeping Alk demand up along with dosing kalk in my ATO and a CARX.

I try to keep my ALK around 8 and I have a Trident with testing intervals every 6 hours. I was thinking about creating some VOs with OSC that would dose about 5ml every hour if the ALK test lower than 8.

I would have the 120vac doser connected to an outlet and it would turn on depending on what my Trident tested. I am having an issue thinking about how I would go about doing this because if my Trident tested at 7.99 I wouldnt want it dosing 30ml of ALK until my Trident tested again 6 hours later.

Is this possible? If not, then I will look at getting a DOS. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Why not start dosing a 2 part? At some point you will max your tank out of kalk

That's what I am doing now. I am in the process of adding in 2-part then making a switch once everything is looking good. Kalk is keeping up with calcium and I do like the pH benefits from it. However, I am still dropping about 1dkh of Alk a day with Kalk and a CARX.

80 pieces of SPS in my DT and a frag tank is eating through Alk.

You can dose both. I've seen folks do that for the pH.
