One thing that I was really looking at doing, if for no other reason than I don't understand why, was dosing the Calciuma and Alk 12 hours apart from each other. Is there no benefit to this if the 2 pump head were tied together on a single motor?

I run both at the same time and in small amounts. I think maybe .5 ml at a time. I run the alk into the highest flow portion of the sump, and the ca I run after a baffle. I don't think there would be any advantage to running 12 hours apart -- it would be harder to set up, and would even allow the levels to fluctuate more than if they were run together and run gradually. I don't have any problems with the water clouding up or the stuff precipitating.
