Before starting to dose you should establish a baseline for your consumption. Do this by testing 3-5 days in a row at the same time of day and getting a feel for your daily drop. That will determine what your daily dose needs to be.

Then you might have dose done extra over the course of a few days to get to your target numbers. I have never dosed all for Reef so can't help you with how much to dose based on the daily consumption, but I am sure there are plenty of people who could help with that.
