Two part dosing question

I have 125 gallon LPS in soft coral tank that’s been set up for about a year. I’m starting to dose two parts to keep my alkalinity where I want it currently hovers around 8.5 but it drops about a point a day if I want to dose two part, I’ve been coming home and using a drip acclimater. Is that a decent way to do it or will that cause swings that I don’t want? Thanks in advance
