Can it be dosed manually initially until a doser is set up? Can we add the Components 1, 2 & 3 right after the other or split it up.

Thank you

Since 1+2+3 is like Balling you want to dose it at least an hour apart so you don't have any precipitation. When I dosed by hand I had turkey baster for each component. Other wise you would want to clean it out between doses. I can tell you it is a pain to dose manually. [emoji3] Love my GHL doser 2 I can set the dose over the a 24 hour period. An change it from iPhone after testing.

Thank you reefwiser. I have purchased individual beakers for this application. Thinking of doing late nigh to early in the morning when the PH is low. I'm planning to get a GHL as well. But for now I have to figure out the dosage , because my tank does not consume a lot.

The value will change over time. You will start out with a value and then as corals and coraline algae grows the dosage will increase

Just bit the bullet on this and order it from amazon . Im using a BM doser. Should be fine right. As long as i dose and hour apart like you guys say ?

 

[reefwiser]

right an hour a part is fine. a doser just makes it so much easier to dose cal and alk supplements. Especially when you have a hard day at work.

My Mag level is at 1440, will these increase overtime since it does not get consume like the rest.

 

[reefwiser]

Your mag level will stay pretty much the same over time. The Mag level doesn't drop like cal and alk. This is due to the calcium uptake and precipitation in a reef tank.

Yes - You Can dose that manually but remember to take 5 minutes break betweenComponents.
For example: Dose Component1+ after 5min You can dose Component 2+, after 5 minutes you can dose Component3+

I am doing with a Jebao doser twice a day, 50 ml in the morning with hour intervals and 50 ml at night with the same intervals. Check Parameters today after dose with 1+2+3 for 2 Weeks now.

There has been improvement in colors and the all around balance of the tank.

I would start of with half of 1/3rd of the recommended dose, 25 or 35 ml would be a good starting point.
