Every other day and it is all manually :squigglemouth: ... unfortunately. I do not have a doser system set up yet. I have a 75 gal display reef & a 135 gal macro/fuge tank all plumbed into a 40 gal sump. I just follow the directions on the bottle to the approx. amount of water I have in my system.

I personally haven't tried a dosing system on my own aquarium but we have one in the office and it's pretty sweet. Although for me, I never really minded dosing the tank every day. I don't travel much (except my commute to MD) so it's never really been an issue, plus... I like being hands-on with my tank. Things may change once kid #2 comes along...

Yea, we end up travelling quite a bit so it would be nice to get some more things automated. I do love being hands-on with my tank as well though. You can just teach kid#2 to help out too!

Good point, I'm already teaching kid #1 the fine art of putting things away. lol She's only 1 1/2, so a little young for reefing, but I got her a little API betta tank for her birthday in October. Get 'em started early!
