How should I use my 2nd Neptune DOS

[Greg Depo]

So I just obtained a 2nd Neptune DOS and I’m curious what some of you guys decided to use it for. Currently my first DOS is for calcium and alk. I’m running BRS hybrid balling method so I’m having to hand deliver the part c. So my options as I see it would be either part c and maybe mg or even another additive. Or I go with an auto water change system. My tank is in a dining room area so my options would be limited for barrels/brute trash cans. Also I’d have to manually fill the container since my rodi is in another area of the home some 30 feet away. Let me know some of your thoughts.

What’s your opinion on the best mixed reef aminos?

I use my second DOS for magnesium and SeaChem Reef Trace.
I hand dose AcroPower and AB+. Best not to leave organic compounds out for long periods at room temp.
If you have a workable option for doing AWCs, that would be a great choice.

I use a dose pump for automatic water changes. Tank is in my living room, mix station is in my garage. It pushes 40 feet including 12 foot vertically no problem.

to be honest i've only had experience with aquaforest aminos and they seem to really incite polyp extension and feeding response. if anyone else with a positive experience with a different brand to share, by all means do so.
I have always been curious if Acropower worth all the promotion it seems to get.
