There are a lot of ways to do it and your idea sounds fine to me.

When I used regular supplements I used rep-cal calcium every day, rep-cal herpetivite 2x weekly, and rep-cal calcium with D3 1x weekly. I am not sure about your plan but I would be a little wary of a brand that bundles D3 with vitamins. Rep-cal is a good brand for regular supplements but nowadays I use Repashy Calcium Plus ICB with good results. It's one supplement that you use at every feeding with an appropriate balance of calcium, vitamins, and D3 and is much more convenient than keeping a dusting schedule.

I keep Calcium without D3 in the tank and dust 2-3 times a week with Calcium with D3. I use Herptivite vitamins once a week. But don't overdose on vitamins.

yes, it should work fine.

For smaller ones and pregnants I use a dish with calcium wihtout D3 all the time.
