    Keep on dosing until your around 1380-1420ppm(mag) and 400-450ppm(cal) slowly, of course.

    No, you can bring it up 100 a day and not cause harm. You need to keep a list of how much you put in to get the increase in the target parameter. Then you will know how much more to add for the proper target.
