Mimi, it will dose either way. I have mine set to dose even amounts over a 24 hour time period to keep things stable. Very easy to use an setup. Hardest part is unpacking it from box!

Tank is doing well! I'm fighting some bubble algae, an still battling the neomeris sp. Almost over the battle with the neomeris. I'm going to change the aquascape around a bit.
But have corals coming a little at a time. Got some really nice pieces in there now!!
My dosing on 2 part has increased!! I'm dosing 26mil per day of each alk, cal.
Corals in tank now are really growing! An I have some really cool pieces that I have received from a few of you here. So if anyone has anything to trade that catches my eye? Let me know!! Will be postin more photos once I get new lense!
