Foundation B 1.7oz of powder mix in with 21pints of ro water

Reef Foundation A (Calcium)
Disolve 1kg of powder into 1.8L of RO/DI water.

Reef Foundation B (Alkalinity)
Disolve 1kg of powder into 10L of RO/DI water.

Reef Foundation C (Magneium)
Disolve 1kg of powder into 1.7L of RO/DI water.

The amount of cal/alk/mag that your corals are consuming is the big question mark.

If you have lots of corals, you can test every 24hrs without making any changes to see how much they consume. If you only have a few corals, you will need to wait longer to see any effect of consumption.

Do not dose calcium or magnesium until your corals have consumed them. Once your levels are good, then you can begin dosing to maintain those levels.

If you are using a salt mix that is high in cal/mag, you probably won't need to dose cal/mag until you have more corals.
