At the end of the dosing tube, I noticed some kind of precipitate forming and it may be clogging the tube outlet. Turns hard.
Anyway of avoiding this?

Buy a barbed Y fitting and splice it in about 6" above the tubing outlet then hook up your ato tubing to the free barbed connection.

Ato tuning? You mean dosing tube from my kamoer doser?
 
Do you have an auto top off system?

This is what i was refering to. Using top off water to clear the tip of the dosing line when it tops off your system.
Oh ya I do.. that's interesting
 
I've just started mixing up my AFR at half strength (3 scoops to 3L of RO water) and doubling my dosing schedule. The goal is to keep the dosing tube clear and reduce precipitate in the AFR container. Seems to be working so far but only 2 weeks running.
 
Meant 3 scoops per liter.
