How do you dose 2 part?

[edsimmons]

Other than a dosing pump how do you measure and dose 2 part? I'm interested in learning easier more accurate easy of dosing. I'm thinking about these but I'd like to see others ideas.

Thanks

Yup, Seaside Aquatics dosing containers here as well.

My next tank will be set up on dosers.

How much do those containers hold?

I dose individually with a 3-part container that holds 1500ml each, but I only fill each (especially alk) with enough solution to last 3 to 4 days. That way, even if I have a (mechanical or human) problem right after filling, the resulting levels will not cause enough of a spike to severely affect the corals.

This is a personal methodology and works for me because I check levels every day or 2. Sometimes I need to add a little more or back-off a little, depending on the levels created by regular water-changes. I do this with dosing pumps controlled on Apex channels. Occasionally I accidently leave it on ON, rather than AUTO.

It is very easy and accurate for me and I haven't had a huge Alk, Cal or Mag dump in years. I am a huge fan of redundant back-ups in as many aspects of my tank as possible. That is tough to do with a Ca reactor or large dosing containers.
