For those of you that carbon dose, how do you do it? I currently have a two channel doser for 2 part dosing and don't really want to spend the money on an additional pump.
 
I bought a BRS drews doser few years ago for vodka dosing. Used with a timer and now an apex. Never missed a beat.
 
Well I splurged and purchased the Neptune Systems Apex DOS Doser. This is an incredible piece of hardware. You can dose as little as .1ml at a time. Very happy with this unit.
 
I manually dose biopellets about every three months or so. :tongue:


Solid carbon dosing.....the only way to go! Let the bacterial come to you.
 
I manually fill up my vodka bottle every 6 months. 1.75L

Liquid carbon dosing is the only way to go!! lol

Sorry, couldn't help it! I only have to touch the thing twice a year and around here the 1.75L of cheap vodka is, well, cheap!
