Neptune apex dose, how many dose's do i need?

[Surfpulse]

So I just wanted some advice from someone who has ran into my issue.
I have 2 apex dose so far. One will be used for auto water changes.
So that leaves me with one left. I have trident and want it to work with my dose. So should I get another dose to handle the 3 main area I need to focus on ?? Or should I just do one manually?

Any advice would be, would be appreciated

You can dose Mag manually as it might not need to much to add to your tank. If you can find a used one, then you can use it for mag and made Amino acid.

I just purchased my third DOS, so maybe I’m a bad influence here. But I’m using one for AWC, one for Calcium and Soda Ash and the new one will be used for Nitrates and Lye.

As far as magnesium, I spike my NSW that‘s used for my AWC with magnesium. I add about 700ml of the BRS magnesium mix to about 50 gallons of water and with my AWC schedule that keeps the magnesium reasonably stable. Sometimes I need to add a little to the tank or dose a little less to the NSW to adjust it a bit, but for the most part it works pretty well.

Ooo you are a bad influence sir

Thank you for responding. I'll have rethink what I wanna do again

Here is the dosing cabinet that I just spent more hours than I care to admit setting up yesterday. I can store my excess supplements on the bottom shelf and the DDR’s hold the supplements that are being dosed. The DOS for my AWC is in my garage near my big water reservoirs.

It happens when it comes to this hobby. Looks really sharp tho. I'm in the process of redesigning the whole bottom of my tank, from lighting, piping and even making more room. I also need to build another cabinet as I out grew mine in a few quick orders.. so now I'm a busy bee

Yeah, I really need to do the same thing. The cabinet I posted above is on the left side of my tank. Unfortunately this is what the cabinet on the right side looks like:

I really need to take a day (or maybe a weekend) and go through and clean up that mess

Holy moly, nice looking tank.. I'm going into a fallow period and can't wait to get some fish. Too many rookie mistakes.
It does not look so bad, a bunch of zip ties and you should be good
