well, there is no "set amount" (shock! right..)
since you are using a dosing pump, am i correct in assuming you are not using this as top off water?

if that assumption is right, get a measure of your Ca and Alk, and them start with about 1/2 a gallon a day. after 2 days, measure your Ca and Alk, if its still dropping, increase by 1/4 gallon.. then test, and so on.

if you are simply doing it for there other benefits besides Ca and Alk, then i would keep to 1/2 gallon a day or less, and confirm its not disrupting your PH, or raising your Ca or Alk to much.
