Measure your Alk daily, or multiple times a day.
If you're stable, do nothing. If you're seeing an increase, you may want to separate your kalk dosing from your ATO. I run mine off pH, but you can also run it based on a preset dosage per day based on your measurements.

As long as the levels remain stable, I wouldn't worry. You could try measuring alkalinity daily or every few days until you're sure the situation is not changing.
