KH Keeper Plus with automatic All For Reef dosing

[Boosterman]

I'm looking to buy a KH Keeper Plus to keep my alkalinity stable. Is there a way to dose All For Reef based on the test result?
I'm currently using Apex DOS to dose a constant amount of All For Reef daily but would like to automatically change the dosing amount based on the tested KH value.

It’s not advised to use the automatic dosing schedule with all for reef as the results are delayed… it’s better to manually adjust your dose off readings and tests.

I have used All for reef automatic dosing with the Alkatronic alone, Alkatronic plus Dosetronic and now KH Keeper Plus using X4 doser. I agree that the results are delayed, but was always within .2 dkh.

Great. Glad to know that it works with the X4 doser. Thanks for your input.

Yes it works great….you set up actions on the dosing pump and it adjusts dosing to your set dkh.

Ok exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I think you would be best dosing a set amount of All-for-reef each day (maybe 2/3rds your daily dKH consumption?), then the balance of alkalinity with a different product in doser controlled by your tester.

All-for-reef won't raise alkalinity immediately, bacteria first need to eat/metabolise the organic components in it. The time delay would make the system unstable in terms of process control

Yes exactly.

You can use a doser x4, using one doser head for afr set to about 70% of Alk consumption, and then do 3 part dosing with the other 3 heads.

That's how I ran my tank for a while.
