Let's see those dosing setups !

How do you guys keep the Alk line free of deposits? I need to manually clean the end of the Alk line every couple of weeks due to build up, looks like a Cave Stalactite if I let it go too long.

Never had that issue before, what are you using for Alk solution? How often is your Alk doser running? Maybe submerge Alk line below the water level and dose underwater?
 
Dosing ESV 2 part and Alk is dosed four times a day for a total of 40ml. Right now the Alk line is above the water surface, I'm going to have to cut new longer lines so that I can dose under the water surface.

Thats what I would do to cut down on that maintenance. I am using BRS for Alk/Cal.
 
I dose seachem products like carbonatos and reef plus and Mg from Kent and they have all my parameters stable kh 11 Ca 440 Mg 1350 and all my reef look good.

Absolutely stunning
 
I'm setting up a dosing pump this week. Primarily Alk & Ca, but may set up Mag since the head is there. Should the dosing lines be under or above the surface of the sump/refugium?

There are some really great ideas and set ups here.
