Best Alk Doser

[Reefbuds]

Hey there. My 29g mixed reef is using more and more alk every day and I'm at the point I need to start dosing more and more alk to keep stable. To keep from raising it to much after one big dose I thought about dosing 2 times a day instead. Any recommendations on a simple automatic doser, doesn't have to be big or wild. Just something I can set to dose a certain amount at a certain time of day. Thanks!

How much are you dosing a day right now?

My go to good but affordable doser is the kamoer x1. Then you can pay extra if you want Wi-Fi connectivity instead of just Bluetooth.

I use the redsea dosers, they are more $ now than a year ago but they are ok, I have a 4 head and 2x two heads. The app is simple enough and replacement parts are cheap and easy to replace. Its better to purchase it now and prepare for the future if alk consumption is going up now just imagine a year from now. After 5ml I believe you can dose 24 even doses, I notice alk stabilizes easier with a doser and depending on what your dosing you may want the 2 head.

Im up to 8ml a night of Reef Fusion 2 and I can barely keep up. Im scared if I start dosing much more at once on the regular it will raise it to much and start causing to much fluctuation for the corals. What do you think?

I realize 8ml doesnt give any context as of the change, I'll look tnight and see exactly how much that raises alk. I think its a little over 1 dkh. I takes it from about 7.7 to 8.9 not totally sure tho.
I know it takes it from .52 to about .40 on the salifert test kit
Ill try to get more detailed info tonight tho
