Peristaltic pump on a timer with a kalk reactor for me. Should I mark dosing pump?
Calcium reactors are not difficult at all. Once you have it set, you do a couple a test for a couple of days then it is set it and forget it. It was one of the best investments I ever made for my system. I do not trust dosers... One malfunction and it can crash your tank
What kind of Peristaltic pump do you use?
im running a avast marine reactor with extra chamber total 35lbs and my 1200 maxi works ok and im dripping 90ml a minute and reactor set at 6.50 to dissolve i would like a pump like yours but the one i use to use was kinda noisy that's y im wanting to know yours
i'm using avast marine's. It is actually noisy but fortunately my tank is in it's own area so it doesn't bother me that much. I think avast marine now makes a quite one which i might buy and give it a try.
I just recently purchased the Bubble Magnus 3 part doser and will be installing next Tuesday 11/18. I have been keeping an eye on my dosing regiment and found my system consumes 35ml mag, 40ml Alk, 10ml Ca - Daily. I'm hoping the dosing system can keep this stable and allow for a few extra days of vacation. I've never used a Ca reactor but will be following the thread. I try and keep my MG above 1500 to keep hair algae in check. My Nitrates are 0 and phos between .04 -.06 and run Phosban reactor. Lets see if the dosing pumps work.
You're going to love the dosing pumps, I can leave for a week and only have the tank sitter feed the aquarium and test. The dosing pumps do all the work but you cannot become complacent. Test your pumps regularly to ensure they work properly and to ensure you have plenty of two-part solution remaining. Also, every 6 months or so be sure to oil your pumps based on the manufacturers recommendations. Awesome reef, by the way!
