alkalinity dosing?

[mic209]

I have a 24 gallon aquapod and my alkalinity is at 6.9 dkh (2.45 meg/l) and according to one of the dosing calculator i need to add 20.2ml of b-ionic. Will it be safe if i add this much alll at once? If not, can i do like 10ml and then 10ml 8-10 hours later?

20.2mL will raise your pH .35 or more probably. I try not to let my pH go above 8.45. I swing 8.20-8.40 night to day.

 

I have a 29 gallon. If my pH is 8.20 and I dose 10mL the pH will hit about 8.35-40'ish.

 

With that said, I dose 20mL of both part a+b of B-Ionic every day. 10mL in the morning and night.
