is there a feasible way to automate maintenance dosing, and also keep the # of dosing pumps to a minimum?

currently, i have a newish tank with approx 70 frags and say 8 colonies. in addition to auto dosing core 7 -- my weekly routine, chasing the triton green, is syringe dosing:

strontium
iodine
boron
lithium
vanadium
manganese
nickel
zinc

it's kinda time consuming... and prolly spikes my additive concentrations every tuesday. is there an easier/better way?

like dumping all my weekly maintenance additives into a jug, and auto dosing a proportionate volume on an automated doser hourly, until the next icp (say 2 months worth)? if not 1 jug, what about classes of additives that we might combine, to minimize dosing heads?

i know, keep dreaming, lol

mega bump...

is everyone adding each additional element manually, on a daily or weekly basis?

iodine
manganese
zinc
vanadium... once a week
