Quick Question,

I’m about to begin dosing Core7, and have a Synergy sump. The Triton inspired sump has two dosing connections in the crash box (before the fuge), and two after the Skimmer section baffle. From reading, Core7 is preferably dosed into the algae, and if it makes a huge difference I can always drill in two more connections, but would like to avoid that.

Does anyone know which of the elements have the “fuel” for the algae? It would make sense to dose those before the fuge to give the algae in the fuge first go before the display.

Quick Question, I asked in another thread, but thought I’d ask here as well.

#1 Mg + trace
#2 Ca + little trace
#3a Alk + trace
#3b Alk + trace

Dosing into the crashbox should be fine. There is a ton of flow in the crashbox which is critical, and the next section the crashbox dumps into is the refugium.
