Please let us know how it is, sounds delicious!
 
Just for the future, I wouldn't bring up politics in Reef2reef. I wouldn't want any of you getting in trouble for something like that. And @John Doe, I know you are outside of the US, but asking questions like those aren't necessarily considered appropriate, because one could have such strong beliefs that it upsets one another. Just a heads up! :) I hope you all had a great day today!
Well said Walker!
 
Okay I voted.
This is the highest turnout in our little area I've ever seen.
same here I was like #72 and usually am in the 30s, we have less then 100 voters in our township.
 
its hilarious walking in and seeing 2 voting booths.
Yeah I went in and they literally had tables lined up with people everywhere, everybody talking to each other.
There's usually only 4 paper/cardboard booths
It was a trip.
 
my hands and a shot glass once a day when i remember to do it......
This is my method too.
Really don't want to buy something else.
Thanks I'm gonna stay with my method. ;)
 
even back in the day i had access to really nice industrial paristaltic pumps for free after they were decomissioned and still chose manual dosing. Maybe it was the simplicity and one less thing to nuke my tank thing.
 
I'm now using this one in the Pro Clear 90 and I'm happy with it

wow that is WAY cheaper then a dosing pump was back in the day. might need to try it out instead if trying to rely on my memory......
 
I use a Reef Factory doser in drilled through a mini fridge to dose All For Reef and liquid foods (PhytoFeast/OysterFeast/PacPods/RotiFeast). But I will not buy another Reef Factory device. It's been a headache. I have another Simplicity 4 head doser that I wanted to replace it with, but I haven't had the willpower to dig out the silicone that I used to plug up the drilled holes and replace all the wires/tubing...
