Kalk + All for reef question

[Spare time]

I was thinking of using kalk in a bottle with a dripper to help solve my low pH problems. However, I don't want this to significantly contribute to my daily alk and calcium dosage as I currently use all for reef. Is it possible to dose kalk in a low enough amount to raise pH but only raise alk and calcium in a very small amount? For reference, this is a 75 gallon + sump using about 80ml of all for reef a day

It is unlikely you can raise pH noticeably without adding a significant amount of alkalinity. I’d say at least a half dKH per day to be useful.

Dang. I guess I'll just have to stick with all for reef only for now. I'd do the brs 2 part with tropic marin trace and balling but I don't have an auto doser and soda ash would always precipitate for me when I dosed by hand.
