Have you been able to dose all 3 parts in equal amounts without things being out of whack?


I tried the aquaforrest stuff for a while and although i did get some nice colors on a couple of pieces in the end i also had this weird bacterial build up in the sump and plumbing for my tank and ended up not continuing with the program. My zoas and ricordea did not like the program either so that helped sway me away from that.

I am sure the aquaforest is bringing better colors, it seemed like it did for me when i used it as well. Over all however the growth for me stalled and many non sps items started regressing so i quit their program.

To me its down to either just doing 2 part or the ATI essentials at this point. My only concern with going the ATI route is i will have to buy another Apex dos to have enough heads.. :/

Oh yes, I do recall your bacterial issues with AF products now that you mention it. I'd still go one of the "complete" routes, like ATI though, despite the doser shortage. The downside of those DOS if you ask me, having only 2 heads. With current trends 3-4 heads is really the minimum these days.

I already have one dos so that makes it difficult. If I didn't I'd buy a ghl 2.1. maybe someone will sell a dos locally or maybe I'll sell mine and buy the GHL doser. Idk

So it seems like the majority of the votes at this time are favoring the ATI essentials program. I will need to buy a doser with more heads if that is the route i go as i only have 2 on my dos. With that said, what is everyones experiences with the coralbox wifi doser? I dont want to spend the money on a second dos, and this looks to be built better than most of the cheaper chinese dosing units so Experiences would be welcome! Thanks again for everyone who took the time to read and vote!

bumping this up. the coral box doser was a breeze to set up. it's small, and comes with a template for mounting assistance. I just set mine up and calibrated last night, we'll test things out later tonight.
