First dosing pump

domination2580 · Mar 20, 2018

Ok, so I got my new jebao dp4 in. Calibrated it, tested it, and set the schedule. I need to dose 24 ml alk daily so I divided into every 2 hours. So that would make it 2 ml every other hour. 24 ÷ 12 = 2. So every other hour it doses 2ml. The calcium is 4 ml every other hour as well but is set for the hour the alk is not getting dosed so they don't cancel each other out. Does this sound correct? Any recommendations or improvements?

I think you got it.

My only caution would be to start with an under dose.

If your paper says 24 ml dose 16, and test after a few days, and at the end of the week.

There is the possibility of inaccuracies in the doser, and no offense , the reefer.

Fwiw , I found out that 16dkh isn’t that bad for my tank.

A pretty good article

Keep in mind , his dosing amount maybe a different product.

Ok so I now switched to 1 ml dosing to keep things more stable....alk has been at about 7.8 cal 450 (I think because I had the dose a little high due to overlooking it) brought it all to an even 1 ml for 9 doses spread out through the day. Here is the schedule for it.
