EasySPS food

Edit: Nevermind found them.

My 250ml EasyBooster and EasySPS Evo didn't come with any dosing connectors. Where can I purchase them?

They should include them.

They really should. I was excited to get it all set up tonight but now I have to wait for the connectors to arrive. Oof!

You can get them from Coralvue here:

EasyConnect 25

EasyConnect 25 adapter for EasyBooster and EasySPS EVO 250ml bags

www.coralvue.com

Or you can DIY it...
I took a 1" piece of 3/8" silicone hose (perfect tight fit to the bag connector - it pushes inside)
and pushed a piece of 1/4 rigid RO tube into that (also a perfect tight fit)
and pushed the whole thing into the bag connector.

If I was to do it again I would also add a 1/4 RO shut off valve to the RO line so I can turn it off if needed to disconnect for some reason. If you want pics let me know and I'll take some tonight.

HTH

Thanks for the tip. I went ahead and ordered some because my DIY sucks. lol Appreciate your feedback though.

I put 1500ml into a dosing container and dose using a free dos pump. Didn’t have success with the bag and versa. Also don’t like the look of a bag hanging. Works just fine in a dosing container and the container is airtight. I dose 4ml a day on a 45 gallon system. Easy booster I dose 4 days a week at 3ml a day. I also never stopped dosing acropower. Have that set up on a versa at 3ml a day and just never shut it off. The growth I have experienced since starting easy sps is off the charts. For those thinking po4 and no3 increases I haven’t had that experience. I actually stopped dosing NoPox to free up a dos pump for this and just increased photo period of my fuge. Po3 has been steady at .03-.05 and no3 0-10. Some days I dose no3 so it doesn’t bottom out and I have 10 fish. Heavy bioload.

This stuff is the real deal.

I also switched mine over to an airtight container because the bags and I didn't get along.

Do you mind sharing which airtight dosing container you’re using?

I made one, Voss glass water bottle and sealed everything up with silicone after adapting the lid.

 

[lovemysps00]

I dosed mine with the Voss glass bottle as well.

I'm starting to use EasySPS & Booster (8/10/20) as well. Will post couple pic as references. (Taken before using EasySPS & Booster)

Photos: 8/10/20 vs 9/15/20.

 

[lovemysps00]

Including sump, I've a 55 Gal. I'm dosing both EasySPS and Booster twice daily with 1 ml @.

Here are some other frags for next month's comparison.

As mentioned earlier I love the EasySPS EVO and I've been using the 250ml size on both of my tanks BUT.... the 250ml has been out of stock for 2 months, so I purchased the 1500ml size. Problem with that (and there's no mention on the product page) you HAVE to purchase a $30 adapter. That's kind of "grey marketing" IMO.

Wouldnt those air tight containers create a vaccuum problem? I thought the only reason the bags work is because they crumple as you dose? Im assuming this stuff will spoil at some point if not air tight.

I haven't had an issue with mine in the Voss and I just refilled. I switched from a similar container to what SoAg just posted for the exact reason of spoilage. I had to throw out a bunch that went a reddish color film along the top - I assume it went bad and didn't want to risk it. It also smelled even worse than usual when it went that color.

When dosing EVO/Booster into the return chamber, does it matter if the gel doesn’t get sucked up into the return pump? I have the dosing tubes right over the return pump but noticed some times it gets sucked into the pump and other times it lands on the surface.

I use a small powerhead in my return section, just under the surface where the dosing tubes drop, which breaks up the dose immediately. I also put my AFS (auto feeder) in the return section, so the food always gets sucked up through the return pump and into my display.
Just make sure the tubes are positioned in a spot where they get sucked up quickly, but I wouldn't worry too much as long as it's hitting water and not a dry surface.

Noted. Thank you. It’s been 2 days and I can see a noticeable increase in PE.

Out of curiosity, those of you guys who are dosing out of a separate container, why don't ya'll just dose from the air-tight, light proof bags the gel comes in? Is it for aesthetic purposes?

I personally had a lot of issues with the bags. Nowhere to properly store them, adapters kept falling out of them making a mess, etc.
