Shuan,
Can you ask Kevin if you can mix both parts into one?
My work is too busy to talk with him right now.
All I remember is that it needs to stay cool and to use small amounts at a time so that it stays mixed.

I just saw in the instructions that any that is mixed and not used should be discarded. So I'm guessing the answer is no. I don't mind the manual additions for now.

Some time in the not too distant future I plan on adding another 4 head doser.Why did your "for now" comment sound like a prelude to a gadget?

The instructions state that ‘A and B can be mixed together directly before supplementing’ but not so save any left over, I assume as it may go bad
It has to be keep refrigerated anyway, and also if your using a doser the lines will need to be kept cold and clean or they may clog and then the reef energy may go off and the lines block.
I’m personally at a stage with my tanks nutrient levels that I only dose reef energy ever 2-3 days and it’s made no difference to coral growth that I notice. Nitrates are around 12-16ppm with a trace of phosphate and with the daily fish waste they get plenty of food.
I think the daily use would be needed if your running ultra low levels were there’s no food in the water.
