How much Alk/Ca consume per week?

Well I changed my Alk test to Elos recently and been monitoring my Alk better. I loose 1dKh per 4 days (2dKh per week) in a low stocked 80G system.

I have 20 head of Candy Cane and about 100 heads of zoa, 3"x3" GSP and 2 small leather.

I had 10ml of baking soda every 4 days between test to keep it around 8.5dKH (it drop to 7-7.5dKh).

I have a fairly medium bioload (lots of fish, 1/2 are clown goby).

So how are yours? I'm starting to look at getting more LPS/SPS and I'm thinking of DIY a dosing system.
