When you realize 3 days later that you put the Alk water solution in the PO4 chamber and the PO4 in the Alk chamber of the auto-doser

My grandpa used to always tell me measure twice cut once…. #failed

That’s a mistake I won’t make twice!

I guess there was no obvious warning.

Not like when I topped up the half full Alk container with a gallon of Calcium.

Fortunately the difference between both dosing is 15ml. So my PO4 climbed up to .15 and my Alk dropped to 7.9. I’m just glad I happened to look at my reservoirs during my normal tank maintenance today or it would have been way worse.

Nope, both crystal clear solutions. But that’s sucks. Hopefully it wasn’t too bad for you

No, just had to throw away the gallon and a half in the Alk container, and mix another gal of Alk and a gal of Ca.
Annoyed that was all. That was a two weeks worth wasted.
