Need help with Profulix Doser x4

[powder_blue]

Just bought the Profilux x4 doser. Wow that thing is awesome! Need some info from SPS nuts on timing. Want to keep things as stable as possible. Do you guys do a 24hr dose or just at a certain time period. Also, how do you keep from dosing additives at the same time. Would like them at least 20min apart. Using it for Alk, Cal, and Mg what else should I be using? Tank is full of SPS with a few scolys and acans on the bottom. Thanks in advance

I used to do it at certain times. Biggest numbers of Alk at night when pH was lower.
Calcium at certain times 30 minutes after dosing Alk.
You can set up Mag on a 24 hour timer.

When I was dosing 2 part ESV B-Ionic Alk and Cal I setup a custom schedule. Did Alk every 3 hours between 12:00 am - 9:00 am. Did Cal every 3 hours in same time schedule. I would dose Alk at :00 and Cal at :15. This worked based on my lighting schedule of 11:00 am - 10:00 pm.

I had to do some trails to determine how much Alk and Cal to dose in that period but once I got it figured out it was a totally automated solution and worked perfect. My PH remained pretty stable 24 hours a day and my coral was using the available Cal perfectly as my Cal levels remained stable as well. The trick is figuring out how much to dose. I ended up buying a digital checker for Cal to figure out the daily uptake.

The GHL dosing pump is a great investment for these purposes and mine worked flawlessly.

Thanks for the input I figured the dosing amounts would be the biggest challenge. I just got sick of dosing by hand and not providing the stability that I was looking for.

Then the GHL doser is your best option!
