Will Changing my dosing times but not amounts, swing my parameters heavily?

[Joe_Joe14]

I have an very established 180 gal mostly Lps tank,and for example I have my alk dosing every other day 24 ml four times and 17 ml once, spaced from 7pm-2am. If I was to change my dosing pump to dose everyday with those same amounts just cut in half, would it swing my chemistry and cause stability issues or would it help smooth out any spikes and falls in my alkalinity.

Dosing smaller amounts more frequently stabilizes alkalinity more and is typically more desirable.

Awesome! That’s everything my brain was telling me but I just added a few Acro frags and I’m trying to keep everything stable as possible, so I just wanted to make sure before I started mixing my dosing up! Thanks for the information!
