dosing question

[redseaapples]

i have a ATO ..small 500ml bttle which drips water to maintain salinity it emptys probably 3 or 4 times a day ..i was wondering if i could add my daily dosing to the bttle ..say 5 mls of dkh liquid to the bttle of ro water so i get the dose needed but its added in a smaller amount gradually rather than 5 mls to the tank directly as ive noticed corals seem to close then re open when i dose ...also any danger in mixing or adding calcium to the dose in same bttle ..i know sounds like a small thing but i was curious to see if maybe the dose wouldnt work properly if added to fresh water then to salt ..and or if mixing dkh and calcium in same bttle would cause chemistry reactions..

You cannot mix calcium and alkalinity supplements together. They will form calcium carbonate precipitate which is useless. It's fine to add one or the other by themselves in your ato bottle as long as the total dose is correct. You might consider All For Reef if you want to kill both birds at once.
