2 Parts dosing time.

[Hitman]

I have been manually dosing with the little cap cups ESV sends with the bottles but have finally broke down and Inordered a dosing pump. I did my manual dosing in the mornings but it seems most are using a auto doser at night.
In total between DT and sump I have approximately 65 gallons and I dose 10 ml of each daily.
What is the best time to dose ESV B-Ionic parts 1 and 2, and is 30 minutes between the parts ok?

Anyone?????

I spread my doses out over the course of 24 hours. So 24 ml a day in my case is 8 doses at 3ml each. Keeps DkH from swinging.

 

[Hitman]

So would you recommend setting it for 2 - 5ml doses of each twice a day then?

 

[Scurvy]

Id probably do 5 doses of 2ml each if it were me. 2ml every 4/5 hours.

I think folks that dose all or most overnight are also trying to affect their PH drop. Either way is ultimately fine i think until you need to dose a lot.

 

[Hitman]

Makes sense. Thank you sir

I dose all day long, calc during daylight hours and alk during evening hours to help stabilize pH

I'm still fairly new to dosing I didn't know you could dose that far apart. Has it worked well for you? My PH swings from 7.8 to 8.2 but I just started only having my fuge light on at night 2 nights ago and haven't re-checked my PH yet

It helps a little, I run a reverse lighting schedule too. I don't think it will get you a to with in a .1 swing but it helps some, unless dosing a ton
