Annnnnnnndddd..... we're off!
Finally set up the jebao doser with EZ-Buffer and EZ-Carbon. Split up into 4 doses per day each. Every 6 hrs. Starting at midnight with buffer, then an hour later 1am with carbon, and every 6 hrs thereafter. Each dose is 2ml for buffer and 1.5ml for carbon. Any inconsistencies in accuracy from the jebao I figure will get sorted out and accounted for by minor adjustments in total calculated dosing.. meaning the calculator will probably say something like 8.7ml/day but if I were to measure the real dosing per day from the pump it would be like 9.6ml/day, and over time it will find the sweet spot.
Still have not started calcium or trace yet. Not needed at this point.
Some photos of auto dosing and my 5 gallon ATO container that won't fit next to the cabinet! I drilled holes in the screw lids for the ez chemicals to same size as an acrylic tube, then connected some quick connectors to the acrylic tube and the santoprene tube that goes to pump. This way I use the ez chemical bottles as reservoir, and have no leaking connections!
