I ended up doing this... works great now.

Awesome video and great tips! I noticed that you are dosing the Red Sea Trace Colors with your dosing setup. I dose the same in my tank, but I currently use silicon tubing with my doser. I’m needing to flush the tubing for the Trace color B (Potassium+) about every month since the dosing liquid crystallizes within the tubing. Have you found this to still be the case while using your RO tubing approach?

This is actually not my video. I just pasted the link. I follow him on youtube though and he responds to comments frequently. Check out his page and ask him your question!

Seemed to stop random drips on output side.

Output side. They are meant to prevent back flow, which can cause dosing lines to lose their prime.

And just double checking output meaning the side were the solution goes into the tank?

I did super glue the ends to the dosing container. But i also put the check valves 6 inches from the container. That way if i need to disconect the container i can do it at the check valve. Ill try and take a pic later showing how i did it...

I received my Coralbox WiFi doser a few days ago. I couldn’t wait for the sale because I needed it before Thanksgiving. Works great. App is pretty simple. I placed the included check valves on the end of the output lines and so far no air bubbles. Check parameters 2 days after (today) and everything is where it’s suppose to be.

I tried the RO tubing thing and it looked great but definitively had a small leak on most connections. I didn't want to superglue so I went back to the included tubing and check valves with no problems.
