Steve,
in the long run dosing limewater(Mrs Wages)will be good for your tank.Limewater will boost calcium/alk,help to buffer the tank & can help precipitate phosphates out of the water-all good stuff.If you don't have a high calcium demand in your tank,then limewater may be all you need.I wouldn't get too hung up on trying to hit the perfect number for alk or calcium.Instead try & go for stability.Read up on making/dosing kalk & maybe consider using it to replace your evaporated water.It is the only thing I dose in my tank(approx 3 gallons daily) & it has always kept water parameters stable.HTH .
