Ok so does anyone know or have a good explainable idea what would be the best place for my dosing hoses to flow into? Currently I have them going into the return section if my sump. Does anyone have them going straight into the tank? Just want to make sure my dosing is going where it needs to be

I had mine in my DT right over my Nero 5. But I just put a small wave maker in my sump and ran my doseing lines to that. But really doesn't matter long as it doses in a high flow area

So would the 12”x12” return pump section be considered high enough flow with the suction of the pump?

Into the sump at or before the return pump section

Once my dosing levels got high enough, I actually had to drop a small maxjet in the return section so the ALK didn't precipitate along the sump wall. Unlikely you will need it right away; you'll know when the time is right just by looking at the sump wall.

Yeah it’s about that time. I noticed it building up along the wall. I scrubbed it off and added a suction cup to push the lines away so the liquid goes straight into the water.
