So I'm considering starting to dose kalk using my ATO.

I don't have a large system (yet, new tank coming), but I was wondering how I would set this up so I don't overdose my tank.

I have a 12 gal aquapod and a 5 gal semi-sealed jug of fresh ro/di water for top off.

I don't have a large load of alk/calc consumption yet either, again planning ahead here.

So for the ATO, I go through 90% of the jug in ~3-4 weeks.

My question is is there a simple formula to follow for this? I'm not sure where to start.

Thanks in advance!
