    Non DIY Sodium Carbonate 2-Part Product in the UK?

I would like to run my pH a little higher, hence my interest in using soda ash. BRS soda ash is not available here, and although I am...

    Can I mix doser tube sizes?

    I'm refining my doser tubing path/plumbing to neaten up the sump a bit... I'd like to continue to use the "regular" more rigid refrigerator type waterline tubing between the reservoir and the doser. Then I would like to use the more flexible 1/8" ID silicone tubing between the doser and the...

    Trouble raising nitrate level

    The nitrate level on my tank is below .1ppm. I have been dosing the equivalent of 1 ppm sodium nitrate for a few days and every morning I test its back around 0. I tested minutes after dosing and read around 1ppm and I even dosed to my water change bucket and got 1ppm. So I am pretty certain my...

    Potassium Iodide should be added to which of the 3 part solutions?

    Hi! I never had the colours I wanted in my corals, so I decided to perform an ICP test. The only big gap was Iodine, so I started dosing RF Potassium Iodide manually. Just 2 drops per day and It made a HUGE difference! My dosing pumps have 3 part dosing (AF Components Pro) and Vodka. I'm...

    Thousand Ways To Use Dosing Pumps

    I'm curious to find out what people are using their dosing pumps for! Mainly other than standard 2-part. What other supplements can we automate by incorporating dosing pumps? Diluting products that normally are dosed by drops or caps? Using automatic magnetic stirrers, to suspend solids? Come...

    Comparing strength of 2-part brands

    My question is about the relative strength/concentration of different 2-part brands. I've been using the BRS pharma pouches for years, and they work well.

    Dosing pumps; operation investigation

    I find myself planning to purchase a solid, reasonably reliable, 4 channel dosing pump. I’ve heard a lot of horror stories regarding dosing pumps, but I realize that when you hear about something it’s at least 10x more likely to be a negative story. Also, nothing risked nothing gained. Thus I...
