Dosing location in sump

[Reeferpops52]

I dose in my return because I have a lot of flow there the biggest reason is I have a refugium between that and don't think it's a good idea to dose before that chamber

My dosing lines are in the mid chamber of sump but different sumps have different configurations. Best is right before water gets to return pump for disburesement to the tank

What all are you dosing ? I believe what your dosing directs where you are dosing. For example, if you're dosing iron, before the refugium would be ideal, if you're dosing 2 part I would dose that very close to the return pump chamber, if you're dosing amino acids definitely nowhere near the skimmer input, they will skim out as fast as you dose them.

I dose into the return pump chamber of the sump.

Welcome to the Reef, I dose right next to the return pump.

I dose ca and mg at return pump in sump, alk at return nozzle in display. Alk is dosed in morning, ca/mg in afternoon.

For myself Just alk and CA. Anything else is manually dosed for control of ML requirement

I dose All-for-Reef, NP-Bacto and Aminos where the display dumps into my sump. It doses within an inch of the drain pipes.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!!

I also dose right next to the return pump. You just want to make sure the area has lots of flow to help it disperse quickly.

welcome aboard the r2r board! i dose everything in the return section

Welcome and I go to the return chamber, that has a small powerhead in it because when I am gone for short business trips, the auto feeder also drops small amount of pellets there.
So there lots of water movement

and use the non- interference timing option on the Kamoers when called for..
