[atoll]

I'm in the same boat. I run a korallin 1502 calcium reactor, dose sodium bicarbonate via a peri pump and drip kalk as my evaporation make-up (I also hand dose magnesium once a week).

Needs a kalk stirrer fed by dosing pump option.

Alright, I added a combination option to the poll. Too many options to list them all, so just went with "Combination". Please feel to change your vote if this option is more applicable.

I was using Apex DOS pumps for years.

Stumbled into the Red Sea ABC+ powder and dose it by hand with "Colors" C & D.

So now, I hand dose the ABC+ powder with "Colors" C & D.
(The ABC+ powder raises all your big 3 at once and already has "Colors" A & B, in that product.

And hand dose 15ml's of both parts of "Reef Energy" just about every evening.

Love the DOS pumps but they have been collecting dust since last October.

Many ways to skin a cat... :)

Which salt are you using?

 

[Amoo]

WOW, I'm surprised by how many of us hand dose. I thought I was definitely in the minority. Sad part is I have had a Jaebo dosing pump for over two years and have never even plugged the thing in.

[Ponraj A]

I am dosing manually and with TLF kalk reactor through ATO

 

[John t]

I dose 2 part with a weak mixture of kalkwasser mixed in the ato.

 

[Mdw2589]

Mrs wages dosed with an ato. I'm at 4tsp per 5g so I think I'm getting close to needing to switch dosing methods.

Not that is better than any other salt
But I'm using the Red Sea "Blue Bucket"

New to auto dosing, I've been hand dosing Red Sea a/b/c with trace a,b,c,d and nopox with limited growth for two years on my Reefer 170 aprox 40twv.
This week I made the switch to Aquaforest 1-2-3 and picked up Kore 5th. I had no issues with the connectivity to my pc but it's been difficult to get the calibration to keep. So I'm dosing out of three 50ml jars until I'm able to trust it. Firmware upgrade is kicking my butt. The firmware 1.6C works fine with little glitchs here and there. Anyone have any advise on If I should bother trying to upgrade the firmware.

Just an fyi
If you go down to the AF forum.
I've got a thread down there to help lock Comp 1+ 2+ 3+ to three even daily doses. (Deepwater and I were taught how to do it at the same time from AF Poland)

Also I've been running the ABC+ powder with colors C & D for almost a year and I love it.
If you use the ABC+ then you do not dose "Colors" A & B. The ABC+ powder already has "Colors" A & B in that product.
I also dose 15ml's of Reef Energy just about everyday to keep the organics up in the water column.

Are you keeping the Red Sea Energy solutions in a refrigerated environment?
