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.

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...

Bumping this...Anyone have any links? I need to buy a lot of tubing. TIA!

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.
