Yes. Just need to understand the Minnow capabilities and determine if it or another doser is appropriate for your tank. Minnow is a Smart Doser capable of 25 - 55ml/min. And there is a minimum run time of 2.5 seconds on schedules. The biggest questions are how you're doing the dosing and the flow rate. Minnow is not rated as a continuous doser. And is 25ml/min ok? If not, there's a fixed 2ml/min option or variable speed Sole and X10 options.
Whichever option you choose, would suggest pushing freshwater through pump to kalk reactor. Kalk can be hard on pumps.

Minnow is well suited to dose 60ml and break that over several doses if you like. If you had said something like 8 or 10ml it may have been borderline. That would still work but you wouldn't have as much flexibility to spread several doses throughout the day. The second head will work find for kalk too. You just dose differently than if you had a Sole, for instance. The Sole could dose continuously at much lower 3 or 4 or 5ml/min rates whereas the Minnow is at least 25ml/min so you may break up that schedule to dose appropriatly at :00 and :30 hourly.
