Bubble Magus T01 Dosing for my 60G cube

bigdeeezyyyy · Sep 25, 2019

So I have a BM doser that I am kind of debating what to use it for. Want to get a sense of what everyone uses this doser for and how everyone is setting it up. Are you running it solo or connecting to Apex or other controllers?

My current parameters:

Fairly new setup 60G cube (check my signature for tank build). Mostly mushrooms, euphyllias and zoas with 2 RBTAs.

I know it is truly dependent on a person's tank and parameters, but I just need some guidance on where to start. I also have a pack of the Red Sea Reef Foundation supplements (Calcium/MAG/ALK) if thats helpful to use.

Open for suggestions and discussion!

I run mine solo from Apex and use it for ALK, Cal & MAG. I try to keep it simple & stable.

I just saw your tank is composed of soft corals ,BTAs and zoas. Your tank will not consume that much calcium unless your coralline algae is growing well. I didn’t put a doser on my tank until my alk dropped every day when I added sps and lps

I have 1 aleveopora frag, 1 SPS mini colony, 3 cristatas, 2 nice sized torches and a frogspawn. These guys should be consuming some of the calcium correct?

The Apex only supplies power to it, which the Apex is connected to a UPS in case of power outage.
