Bubble Magus T01 Dose Pump, Help please

[liv2mtb]

I'm about to set up the pump above the sump under my Elos 70. Would like to see how others set it up. Pix would be great. Any links to tips/instruction would be bonus. Thanks

not hard to set up. it will ask you how many times a day to dose and how many ml per day. So if you put in dose 12times a day , 36 ml per day. it will dose 3 ml every 2 hours for a total of 36ml a day.

Very nice. you can dose it all at once if you like but its nice to spread it out the day.

Thanks MoJo. After some search, I think the gameplan is pretty set. 15ml for alk and calc, 5ml for magnes per day of course with weekly test to monitor all 3. I'm more curious if anyone spend the money on the BM liquid container (waste of money to me) or just modify their own bottles.

You choose how many ML, in how many times a day and at what time of the day.

The cool thing about it is there's 3 presets you can configure and choose from.

I made 2 custom configurations where it does a high dose, medium dose and low dose, depending on how fast my corals consume the alk, amino and ca.
I tried this with kalk, but you have to pay attention to the kalk buildup, the tubes will need to be replaced or cleaned every month.

You can use jugs, like me I have rubber stoppers and holes drilled in the center to run a colored tube through it.

Mini tanks can also be used, any containers that can seal evaporation will work great!

Thanks mobatic, any chance you can show me a couple of pix of your jugs ? that didn't sound right

I just use the bottles the brightwell chemicals come in... I just drill a 1/4" hole and shove a piece of tubing in them lol....

Thanks Troy. I found the Snapple 64oz bottle works well. Thanks everyone for the tips.
