Calculated out a need for 66 ml of two-part daily. Calibrated the doser and then set it to dose 11 ml at a time 6x daily 1 hour apart. Alk starts at 10 pm and doses 11 ml once every hour until 3 am. Calcium dosing starts at 10 am and continues every 1 hour with 11 ml per dose until 3 pm. Each dosing session is spread out over 2 mins 26 seconds.

Good idea on spreading out the dosing times!

Your tank will be your best friend now. Just remember, to check it often, because if the power flicks off just for a min while you are not at home it will not remember its settings.

This one remembers its settings on power loss, but loses the time. Thinking of getting a UPS to put it on.

Added that adult Naso from AC to the tank. He is a beauty and has long streamers.

good luck!

What Doser did you end up going with? I'm thinking about getting one.

that naso was amazing!

 

[palvyre]

Turns out the Naso was established in captivity. Was a trade in from someone's tank. I went with the doser Dowtish recommended. Bought it from eBay. Has 3 pumps in it and has 16 scheduling options for each pump.

I was looking at the same one. Do you like it? Is it pretty easy to setup?

It was easy to setup and works well so far. Directions that came with it were clear.

That Naso is a beauty! Hope it works out well for you! Post pictures soon!
