Dosing Triton Core7 with a Neptune ATO

[Dominic Prezwanski]

So I noticed others dosing with other brands but had anyone tried dosing core7 using an ATO?

Primarily my shiny new Neptune, I kind of think it might be too harsh and could block of the lines and valves...

people generally use an ato for water top off and dosing pumps for dosing.
if what you're really asking is if people are dosing core7 using a DOS dosing pump then the answer is yes but you need 2 of them so all 4 solutions are being added.

Thanks landlubber,

I was meaning dosingbusing the ATO, I know how much evapotion I get and therefore how much water is refilled.

I was thinking that I could put 3 days worth of core7 into the rodi tank/ato reservoir tank ?

yea not really an option.
what you're considering will only work with kalkwasser and nothing else.
dosing all your components into one container will result in them quickly precipitating which will wreck them and kill your tank.
this is why components are individually dosed into flowing water with intervals far enough apart that each element has had a chance to dilute into the system water before the next one doses.
core7 has to be followed to the letter to work properly so i recommend brushing up a little on how and why dosing works the way it does before something irreversible happens in your system.
hate to bring all the bad news but you're going to be in the market for a dosing pump very soon.

yea man sorry. jebao has a 4 head dosing pump that is programmable and fairly reasonably priced which will get you back on track
just out of curiosity, is this all future planning or have you already started your triton? if you haven't started i recommend getting an ato first and then working your way into a doser and triton as you won't need all that right off the start anyway. not all corals need dosing and in many cases the salt mix you use will do a great job of covering their needs.

I’ve been manually dosing the core7 every night with a syringe.

However I’m away about 8-10 days a month hence the new shiny ATO.

I just saw the jebao on amazon after you told me off..

nice. many people run them and while they aren't the best out there they're better than manual dosing. stability is the goal and i promise the results will be amazing if you manage to get those elements into your system over 20+ tiny doses every day 365 days a year.
