dosing

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...

Hi all, I'm not at the point where I want to automate my alkalinity dosing. I'd like it to be as hands off as possible. :) How is everyone liking the GHL KH Director? Thanks, lylelovett

Is this safe? Looks like dirt or something only my second bottle ever

Hi all, I've been using a 1L bottle of All-for-Reef and haven't had any issues. However, recently I've noticed clear crystals forming at the bottom of my dosing container. I've never mixed anything with this solution and I am worried that the crystallization is messing up the concentrations of...

Hello all, I tried doing searches here as well as general Google searches but can't seem to find an answer so I thought I would just post the question to the experts. For transparency this question is for my freshwater setup but I assume will also apply to my saltwater setup once I get that...

What is your opinion on it? Did it work?

Ok so I am doing a fishless cycle in my new 37 gallon FOWLR tank. I have aragonite sand and dry live rock in the tank, and 4 days ago I added a bottle of Bio-Spira. I got pure ammonia (Ace Hardware janitorial brand as suggested) and started dosing. Day one I dosed it to 4 ppm. The next day the...

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. However I also use the RedSea Coral Colors trace elements, and they suggest dosing based on the uptake of calcium... RedSea calcium! So to...

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...

Hey all, I just dosed my last bit of Red Sea (RS) magnesium this morning and calcium plus isn’t far behind. Instead of reordering the Red Sea I’ve had my eye on the Tropic Marin ALL-FOR-REEF BRS has some great reviews and it’s been sold out during covid times. I’m wondering what folks think...

So I realized that I ran out of Triton Core7 3B this morning, and upon searching, can't find the refill carton that I thought I had. I ordered the 5L Jugs a few days ago but they will not arrive until the 19th. I looked around and it lists 3B as Alkalinity + Trace, which is the same as 3a, but...

R2R Community- How do you establish baseline parameters for your reef to really see how much calc/alk/mag your corals are using? I test once a week, but it seems as though numbers can jump around a little. Ive also never tested right after a WC to see what the numbers are once elements have...

Hello reefers! Hope everyone and their families are doing well & enjoying the extra time with their reefs. I have a few questions- going to try and keep it relatively painless Quick facts about the tank in question: -IM Nuvo 20 - Weekly 5 gal water change with 0.00 TDS water since the tank has...

Hi, i have been reefing for little over a year, and have had good success with my nano low tech tank. Simple waterchanges have allowed me to grow some birdsnest SPS and montipora. I am slowly planning on doing a high tech tank, and a little larger one. I wanted to have my first sump. But here...

Hello guys! I have been trying to dial in my tank to stick to kalkwasser only. I accidentally dosed a bit too much calcium about 2 weeks ago which spiked my cal to 597... I been waiting out which has brought it down to 592 but I’m concerned it’s lowering too slow and will cause harm to my...

Hello all, I just finally took the plunge into the world of apex and I’m so glad I did. It is a lot to take in However. I am currently having a little bit of trouble programming my dosing pumps and corresponding powerhead in my sump. I actually think I have the dosing figured out but I will...

Anyone want to offer thoughts on my use of silicone airline tubing for my dosing lines? I've had this setup for almost a year and set a reminder to check how they're holding up - all seem fine. I'm pushing Alk, Ca, Mg and NoPoX through them. Just come to calibrate my Apex Dos which I use for...
