I am converting one of my tanks over to the Triton method from RedSea and need some help and advice. What's the best way to go about setting up the DOS heads with the Trident? I need them to be staggered throughout the day. For example I need DOS 1 to dose every hour on the 10s, DOS 2 on the 20's, 3 on the 30's, and 4 on the 40's. Also is there a way to make the Trident control the dosing as it does now based on the readings?

Also are 3A and 3B both the same--Alkalinity? If my Trident shows Alk changing which do I adjust, all 4 or 3A or 3B?

Dose all parts equally unless you have some substantial imbalance to correct.

"Core7 Base Elements uses a 1:1 ratio - for every 1mL of Part 1 you use, you should be using 1mL of Part 2, Part 3A, & Part 3B."

I do not know the logistics of automating the dosing with your equipment. Perhaps others who have these devices can chime in.
 

Just grow it: Have you ever added CO2 to your reef tank?
