Question best method for keeping stable alkalinity levels?

I would like to know the best methods for keeping stable alkalinity levels. I use a bubble magus doser and dose alk. 24 times a day and still get a swing of at least 1 dkh -/+ a day.
I would like some insight on what others are doing to accomplish stability?

Schedule it to dose more when alk is low and less when alk is high...

Best can mean a few different things.


less work is my ideal set up.

I'm using a cal reactor and adding a kalk stirrer to my ATO to help maintain PH

Are you testing the same time of day?
I've never had a tank that went up and down in value when getting the same doses every day.
