I want to start off low so would like 5ml a day dose over 24 h periods to much
It's a kamoer dosing unit

unless the tank is like 10g or less 5mls of either is a horribly small amount
best thing to do is to bring all three to desired levels by hand dosing , stop dosing all together and then monitor the alk each day and write down the drop ,monitor for 3-5 days and write down the alk numbers, find the average of each of the days and then use a reefcalculator to find a starting dose and then tweak it from there.
dose based on alk numbers only as this can be tested fairly accurately daily or every couple days while calcium and mg simply cannot , and if mg is in range then cal will stay stable and usually finds a happy medium with alk.
how much of each to dose depends on water volume and what the products contain
