I have a Fluval Flex 32.5G AIO tank. I have 2 4-head Jebao Dosing pumps coming, and a rail that holds 8 tubes. Since my tank is an AIO, my return and skimmer occupy the same space. Is it ok to dose into this chamber with the skimmer? or would I be better off dosing directly into the display?

planning to dose Reef Colors and Reef Foundation + NOPOX all from Red Sea. Any help/advice is appreciated

I would dose into the tank (dosing into the return chamber will probably cause the skimmer to go haywire). Do note that NOPOX needs to be refrigerated (you can run a sealed container for up to 7 days for your doser).

You sure on that? It doesn't say so anywhere in the instructions or on the bottle... Both Alcohol/Ethanol and Vinegar are shelf-stable at room temp, so I figured that's why no "keep refrigerated" labeling.

Bah, sorry - my brain wasn't fully engaged this morning. I was thinking ReefEnergy AB+... (NOPOX is fine)

Hehe, no worries. The AB+ I will hand dose I think since the refrigeration requirement, that one I knew about... I was lowkey freaking out because my bottle of Nopox has been out on a shelf for the last month :-D
