Bubble magus dosing pump

[rookie214]

I just got a 7 stage dosing pump just to be overkill now I’m stuck thinking what I should put in it anyone have any suggestions on what I should put through it?

Foundation elements, trace additives all sorts and whatever the system uses.

And welcome!

Hello, and we'll welcome to the channel. Depending on what you need. You may not need to use all pumps. Test the parameters.

I have an ato already and alk, calcium, mag, amino then I have algae management NO3O4-X, iron, iodine, phosphorus, nitrogen. Would iron and iodine be trace elements? If so that would leave me with room for one more any idea what else I should/shouldn’t put through my pump

Welcome! Glad you joined. Depending where your nitrates are at, perhaps you might even dose vodka thru it... use the cheap stuff for the tank and keep the good stuff for yourself (smile). Personally, wouldn't actually begin dosing until your testing indicates you've a need for dosing of X, or Y or Z... but now you are prepared!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread under Forum > Member Aquariums and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)

This might help you find people local to you:

This is a good reference book type online article I still review:

Welcome to R2R! You’ll find that the people here are awesome, ready to help, and quite knowledgeable. We’re glad you joined! Hopefully you’ll start a build thread so we can see your reef as it progresses.

I’m just curious, which 7 pump dosed did you choose? I’m going to be in the market for one probably by summer.

Also, I wouldn’t add anything to your system unless you can test for it.
