<<<<<First Doser. Suggestions Needed.>>>>>

[john.m.cole3]

2 years in the hobby and I finally broke down and got a doser. I just couldn't keep my parameters as stable as I wanted to with using my tunze 5074 calcium dispenser.

I decided to go with the reefgrow elements for alk, calc, and mag

I need help with my connection to the jugs and where the lines get placed in the sump. I'm pretty much looking for bulkheads, rigid air tubing, dosing containers, and a line organizer for the sump. If you have a link for those items that's even better. I want to get a shopping list together for Santa!

I have my dosing lines drip in the return chambler of my sump.

I am switching out air line tubing for silicone tube link which holds up much better especially with the alk dose line

And a lot of great ideas here for dosing containers link

My fiancée bought me the below dosing containers. It was a nice purchase, but if she didn't buy 3 of them I would have made them for a lot cheaper myself.

I like the silicone line idea. 3/16" size? still need rigid tubing and the bulkhead that will hold rigid tubing on one side and the tubing on the other

Is it these bulkheads? http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/1-4-push-connect-bulkhead-tank-adapter.html

The size I linked is the size of ID you will need. I went with the hang over the side tube holder for the reason I did not want to weaken the walls of the sump with a bunch of hole, or if I change my mind and want to dose somewhere else or not at all

I have a couple of these, they work well for a dosing container and come with everything you need.........minus the alk, calc and mag : )

I've been looking for something more sturdy than air line tubing. After awhile air line tubing seems to crease and completely block off any dosing. Hopefully this does the trick.

Could I use those bulkheads and RO line? Or would I have to get an adapter to go from silicone tubing to RO line?

As long as there is liquid in the line one should not have and issue with clogging except at the ends

I used the airline connectors to hook into the RO tubing. link

OK thank you I think I have everything I need with the exception of line management in the sump. Do the lines need one of those holders? I'm guessing the ends need to be above the water line in the sump also?
