OK to dose entire vinegar dose in morning?
So, ive got work coming up and i have yet to set up a dosing pump to dose my vinegar (works been a little scarce lately).
anyway, ive been dosing 0.4ml an hour after lights on and 0.4ml two or three hours before lights out. i wont be able to dose before lights out for the next couple weeks because of work, is it ok to dose the whole 0.8 in the morning or should i just do the second dose after lights out? i dilute the dose in about 50ml of fresh SW before i add it to my sump, which is the rear chamber on an AIO, it has chaeto and a return pump and a couple of drip plates, i put the dose in the chamber after my skimmer to avoid making the skimmer go crazy. i have a strong skimmer so i do not think aeration of the water is a problem not to mention the tank is about 3 feet from an open sliding glass door thats open most of the time... (i live in LA) ive been trying to figure out what i should do but i figured why not ask the experts and take the guessing out of it... thanks!

Is this for the 35 gallon tank?
0.8 ml seems like a very low dose and could be added all at once.
