Dialling in dosers

[Scotty333!!!]

Guys,

I’m getting a 4 head doser this week and I’m already calculating my dosage amounts
How do you set up yours?

I’ve gone for setting my kh to 8 and will test again in 24 hours and that’ll give me my dosage as per tritons site
Then I’m thinking of dosing into a ml marked container for 6 hours and x 4 to get the dosage total and adjust accordingly
Repeat after adjustment until correct

Calcium I’ll set at 400 and then test a week later for better accuracy

As for the base elements I haven’t decided yet but I had an icp 2 weeks ago and done no water changes or dosed elements since

Is there a better way ?

Usage is .8 per 24hrs

For me I tested over a week period all at the same time to see if there was any major changes. As for how much to dose, I just followed the instructions for All For Reef. I don’t dose anything outside of that.

And each time you make a change to the tank, including even an increase in feeding, go to daily tests for a while.

I like that setup a lot. I'm toying with using the 4 channels for an auto water change on 2 channels, All for Reef on one channel, and dosing phyto with the last channel. (which is something I have never actually dosed).

very cool. that's the one... now I just need to man up and buy it and you need to actually deploy yours!
