Some people do dose it with pumps but in tiny bottles filled with RE in separate bottles. (one bottle per both parts)
They use tiny bottles so that both parts stay mixed.
If you read the labels of RE it says to mix well before use.
The challenge it not so much of keeping the dosing bottles cold, as much as is to keep the products mixed and not settled at the bottom.
RedSeaKev says: To leave your skimmer off for at least 30mins, after you dose.
If you don't, the RE will go straight up and into your skimmers collection cup.
Lol!!!
Thanks for this thread.
I dosed RE tonight and forgot to turn the skimmer back on.
Yeah, that's the main problem with automatically dosing Reef Energy I think. I used to shut off he skimmer and pull the filter socks out. Now I have the return pump set to almost no flow during feed mode - lasts for an hour - so that works well. Not much flow into the sump for that period.
