Cheap dosing

[Davesreef’s]

Finally got a dosing system up for my mixed reef after I noticed my alk and nitrates were nowhere where it needed to be. Parameters look good right now,
8.2 dkh
Phosphate: .08
Nitrate: 5
Magnesium: 1250

Whatcha dosing?

Whatcha dosing?

I got ammonium bicarbonate to keep my nitrates up (they’ve been stuck at zero for way too long with me trying to increasing feeding). This has been working amazing for me. Then I have all for reef to keep my other parameters stable.
3 Ml of ammonium bicarbonate daily
4 Ml of all for reef every 3 days.
I have it attached to a 15 gal AIO mixed reef with a pair of clowns. (Tangerine storm and longfin misbar)

Nice! I'm considering adding Ammonium Bicarb to my doser. Currently I hand dose as I feel like it. I'm running alk, calc, and mag all separate.

I’m leaving for college so I won’t be here daily, this was a way better way to do it than relying on one of my family members. My dragon soul torch was suffering from 0 nitrates and it looks 10x better from the past week of me dosing both by hand

Don't forget to check the lines. They ends can plug up.

Do you recommend submerging the lines?

I don't. Keep them above the water.
