What silicate to dose?

Randy, silicate has been raising my alk. Iv been dosing silicatw waterglass for 5 days now. I dillute it with 200ml of rodi water, and mix it on the stirrer, and my alk tested today confirmed with hanna, salifert, and neptune trident. Its at 10.0 i jumped from 9.4 alk to 10 im very concerned.

How much are you dosing? If alk is rising too much for your preference, I’d certainly stop.
 
Are you otherwise dosing alk?
Im dosing all for reef, 53ml a day, and its keeping my alk, mag, cal. Stable. If i dial back my dosing. Im gonna lose the balance on the other 2 elements. Thats why i need to switch to redsea 4 part program. Whats your input on it? It has 1 trace bottle, mag, cal,alk. I know u said u dont like it before because it makes u dose alk based on calcium. Do u think its not a good idea?
