How to Manually Dose 2-Part?

[CoralReefer1019]

Currently I Dose Ca in Morning and Alk at Night both in high flow areas is this good practice? I'm dosing Oceans Blend, 15ml of each per day since this keep my parameters up to par. I will be switching to ESV B-Ionic very soon.

Sure. Many people dose alk in the evening to get more of a pH boost.

is it a good practice to dose the way I'm doing it ?

Yes. When you switch to Be ionic, make sure you are dosing to the level you desire. Not every alk & calcium product are the same so follow directions, and trst[emoji6]

yes I will def test and adjust accordingly, you think having a doser is a better route?

 

[terri_ann]

Not necessarily. The biggest thing with dosing IMO is consistency. I personally have dosers. They are programmed through an Apex. I am more likely to forget dosing manually, more so than losing electricity or a doser going bad[emoji6] It's what a person prefers as there are pros and cons on both sides.

Seems [emoji1303]. Separate the ALK Cal dosing as you do and if your ALK dose increases and raise pH too much (>.1) I would split it up and strongly recommend a doser.

I was looking into the Jebao DP4 dosing pump
