How many dosing pump heads will I need? I know I need 3 for the 1,2,3 can I Mix the other stuff like probiotics into one container? Im out of town all week and can not dose 1 drop every other day unless I can dose it.

It seems like a lot of stuff is 1 drop per x gallons every other day. Can I mix this all together and dose it?

123 you can dose NP Pro Carbon source is made for dosing as well as droplet form

Pro Bio S needs a agitating, as far as I know only Pacific Sun Core 5th doser addressed this issue

 

[RamsReef]

I can agitate with the ghl doser 2 addon, I just dont want something funky to happen if I add everything together into one container. Im also trying to avoid dropping another mortage payment on 4 more dosing heads

For one week if you dont dose the probiotics it is fine. Just start again when you come back. Do you have siporax something like that in sump?

 

[RamsReef]

Nothing yet. I have a 120 6ft in storage until renos are done, i was thinking about using my sump and going with a cube until then though, as I have all the equipment. I have done a ton of research and just want to start my tank off right.

My schedual is away 5 days home 2, so its a permanate thing, hence me wanting to automate.

I went with 8 heads, 2 4 head jabao's I have everything on auto dosers

 

[RamsReef]

What products do you have jsker?

Maybe @Aquaforest can tell us what products, specifically from the coral food line, can be added to one container and dosed together.

 

[jsker]

@Ramasule I am using
reef salt
1+2+3+
NP Pro
Pro Bio S
components A.B,C
All in red are setup for auto dosing

Why do you use 1,2,3 and A,B,C?

I thought 1,2,3 is for all-in one solution while A,B,C was for use with other means of dosing calk, alk, mag, such as a calcium reactor.

For the Pro Bio S, do you refrigerate it?

The ABC is over kill, I had it on line before the 1+2+3+ and dose so little that I will take it off line when it runs out in another year

There was a conversation back in the AquaForest thread that as long as one keeps it in a dark and below 78 the Pro Bio s will be fine
