I was in the same situation last month and I just dosed ALK everyday and tested untill my ALK was up to we're I wanted it (go slow it took about a week and a half to bring it up) then I started with equal parts ALK & CAL. I also test my MAG but have not needed to dose that yet.

That's a correct approach to equalize cal-alk levels with two-part dosing. Testing mag is important too (mainly for larger tanks, magnesium in nano tanks can be replenished by regular water changes using quality salt) as it is the third element that has to be in equilibrium with alk and mag.
