Air in dosing lines

[luvinreefer]

Alright I’m frustrated. So I just set up my DOS and used 2 ice cap dosing containers. I used the airline tubing provided by Neptune. I can’t get air to stop leaking into the system: I’m 99% sure it is coming from where the airline tubing connects to the container. I can’t get a tight enough seal there? Anyone else have this problem? I’m going to order colored tubing which I believe is more ridge. Does anyone know if this will correct the problem? For now I just have the tubing directly into the container but it’s less then optimal and what’s the point of order a container if it’s just going to be dropped in?! Thanks

Yes. Pretty common apparently. There are a few threads in here with suggested solutions too

I bought the ice cap dosing containers and I’d suspect the acrylic rod inside the container. I had one that was so bad I had to have BRS replace it. It had a chip in the top so wouldn’t seal
