I'm tired of manually dosing KZ Flatworm Stop. I'd like to keep dosing it a few more more months as a pro-active approach. The directions say to shake vigorously before dosing. But it won't get shaked if I use a doser. ??????? Has anyone automated dosing it? If so, how did you address the 'shake' part?
 
Yea I have always dosed it by hand myself. It would mix well in an ato and not need to be mixed, imo.
I do this with trace elements and it works quite well as you get a small amount dosed every time the ato kicks on.
 
I’ve been dosing it for at least 6 months with KZ CoralBoost. So far so good
 
Dose my with DOS without any issue. Just need to check the container to see the amount on it

I emailed the manufacturer about this very question and they say that the bottle MUST be shaken and so an automated peri pump cannot be used, even though before that BRS said I should be fine.

You can employ magnetic stirrers I would imagine but that was just too much I thought.

I dosed for about 2-3 month and didnt see a major change until I added a pair of wrasses.

Not sure about efficacy of Flatworm Stop - not sure I'd recommend it.
