Every tank is different, and the amount of kalk consumed per day will have to be calculated with some trial and error work. The evaporation rate can change, too, so that needs to be watched. In generall, I'd just back off the amount of lime per gallon and see how alkalinity shapes up. Calcium should track alkalinity well enough that testing every couple of months should be fine.
