Dosing Tubing GHL 2.1

[FirstContact]

What does everyone use for dosing tubing? I have colored RO line 0.17” inner diameter. Also wondering if it’s possible to go from rigid tubing to soft tubing or vice versa. I have no idea what’s better.

Air line tubing works fine. Rigid tubing is ok too but it's harder to push and keep onto the fittings IMO.

I am using silicone airline. for the majority of my runs and some rigid tubing for water pickups from the sump.

I use 2mm id x 4mm od silicone tubing.

Okay, thanks everyone. That gives me something to work with.

I am not seeing a lot of 2x4mm dosing tubing at BRS and what not. Is this airline or something different? Where do you source it?

Interested as well as i am a new user of the GHL SA 2.1.

Hope Op doesn't get mad as i am going a little of topic but want to know if any of you experienced users know how to get sound notifications when the Doser activates on each schedule? I think this is a most just in case the Doser is not working for any reason you will not notice until you check it or see the corals rare.

Thanks in advance...

I purchased different size tubings. Can’t remember the size for GHL, but if you go to their website the replacement nozzles specify the ID sizes they will accept. I believe it’s 4 & 5 mm ID and an older Kamoer needs a smaller ID.

I could be wrong, but maybe you can set the standard alarm to go off with the red flashing GHL logo. Under alarms, you can set for sound or no sound.
