I top off evap with limewater. I also have Randy's 2 part (really 3 part counting the mag) I use that to adjust if any of the levels get low.

TropicMarin Bio-Calcium and Bio-Magnesium. Also, I use Brightwell Aquatics Kalk+2 in my ATO for keeping all levels stable.
i use drew's dosing pumps from bulk reef supply to dose my DIY 2-part

i have been doing a reading for the past week or so every other day and was getting almost the same results. my readings are:
calc - 410
alkh - 8
mag - 1350
....do i need to dose my calc and mag and leave my alk as it is??? let me know what you guys think...thanks!
i think your parameters are fine. you should only dose if you're keeping livestock that demands higher levels.
here's a chart of acceptable ranges:
