So I’m trying a DIY slow doser for this:
I have a 500ml bottle, airline tube and a valve. The tube siphons from the bottle into the filter sock holder. The valve adjusts flow.
I put 2ml of Tropic Marin Elimini-Phos Rapid in the 500ml bottle, diluted with RODI. This is about 1/6 the dose that would eliminate phosphates. I then adjust the valve so the siphon runs at a drop by drop trickle so the bottle takes about 8-12 hours to transfer to the tank.
The skimmer is in the same compartment as the filter sock, so any that makes it through that goes straight into the skimmer.
Is this a reasonable/safe way to dose this stuff?
