About dosing trace elements

[Nor'easter Reefer]

Just wondering what everyone does abiut trace elements.. i dose TM A and K. I want to setup a doser but the bottle says yo shake it. Do most people just stick it in a doser and call it good? Shake weekly? Anything more than that I suppose i'd just keep dosing manually but i'd like to automate

Seems mixing not really necessary….

Good to know! I'll be seeing up a doser this weekend it seems

If they've been sitting for an extended period of time I'd shake them before I set them up for dosing, but like most of us if you had them shipped, they're probably well shaken already from shipping :)

This would be entirely overkill I'm sure, but some have setup dosing systems for phyto that need to be stirred regularly using an inexpensive magnetic stirring plate. You could add your trace elements to a different container, and place that container on the stirrer plate, and run the stirrer on a timer to stir the trace elements regularly.

Again, I'm sure this is entirely unnecessary, but easily done if you felt better about it.
