    I actually do mine at dinner time but pretty much the same routine. Also, when you first start, don't worry bout calcium. Dose the same amounts until you get your alk steady. The calcium usually comes right in line. The reason is that it's a lot less of an issue to overdose calcium as it is alkalinity for the reasons stated above. You don't want a huge ph swing.
