I don't know how this post has not received more love. It is fantastic.
I like the glass Voss bottles, small footprint, holds 800ml so last long enough for me dosing 15ml a day of ESV B-ionic and diy stuff is name of the game in this hobby.
You can use the ddr interface with any 2 liter dosing container to get your visual readout.I know the DDR reservoirs are relatively expensive, but I do like that I can connect them to the Apex to get a visual readout of how much volume is left as well as program the optical sensors to trigger an alarm and alert me that they need to be refilled.
For my 200-gallon system I get about 20-24 days worth of alkalinity and probably 3-4 months of calcium and magnesium, so it's not too terribly taxing to top it up every few weeks.
Yes, I do know this. I like having the optical sensors that I've programmed to alert me to low volumes as well as temporarily disable dosing.You can use the ddr interface with any 2 liter dosing container to get your visual readout.
If you have a dos you can use any containers with a modified built cable and have that feature work for any container. As I stated many post back once you get liquid on that board it shorts out and fries and there is no replacement parts to repair it to factory specs. When this happened to me I figured out what cables and optic sensors to buy and made my own cable that now has no circuit board and the sensors are replaceable. Along with fabricated brackets out of spare acrylic and actrlic glue and any container can now act like a ddrI know the DDR reservoirs are relatively expensive, but I do like that I can connect them to the Apex to get a visual readout of how much volume is left as well as program the optical sensors to trigger an alarm and alert me that they need to be refilled.

This can all be done like I saidYes, I do know this. I like having the optical sensors that I've programmed to alert me to low volumes as well as temporarily disable dosing.
No DDR necessary.I know the DDR reservoirs are relatively expensive, but I do like that I can connect them to the Apex to get a visual readout of how much volume is left as well as program the optical sensors to trigger an alarm and alert me that they need to be refilled.

I'm holding out for the R. E. T-Virus bottles. But those would be a nice alternative.
Yes but your way does not give you open and closed switch inputs to send alarms my way doesNo DDR necessary.
If you also want opticals, instructions about halfway through the build thread of my 65g. http://marinecolorado.org/threads/zombies-ultra-automated-65g.26305/
It does too. Look at the build thread, not the picture. Opticals connect via 1/8 trrs female.Yes but your way does not give you open and closed switch inputs to send alarms my way does
I dont have time for that just tell me howIt does too. Look at the build thread, not the picture.
With the picture you showed no wires coming out of that you’re obviously not using the dose optical sensor portsIt does too. Look at the build thread, not the picture. Opticals connect via 1/8 trrs female.
These are pretty cool.5 Quart Express Service Tank | U.S. Plastic Corp.
Constructed of high density polyethylene, these blow molded multi-purpose tanks offer excellent durability and resistance to most chemica...www.usplastic.com
The picture shows how to make just the tile show up. The instructions for the harness that also uses optical sensors is post #29 in the build thread.With the picture you showed no wires coming out of that you’re obviously not using the dose optical sensor ports
