Need help diluting ESV 2-part

[reefiniteasy]

I dose manually and I’m sick of it. I test alkalinity with my Hanna Checker daily and dose accordingly using this Calculator. Before all my sps died I was dosing 10ml per day. Now my dosing is down to the 1.4ml per day. How can I dilute the ESV so I can dose a higher quantity? I want to move to automated dosing but there aren’t many dosers that dose at a slow enough speed for such a small amount of 2-part. I would really like to stick with my Hydros setup and use the Hydros dosers but they dose at 43ml/min. To do this I would need to dilute the ESV so I’m dosing a higher quantity. How can I go about doing this?

I guess it would depend on how much you want to dose vs how much you dose now? For example you could make a 10% solution and dose at 10x for the same effect. So 9ml RODI and 1ml esv and dose 14ml day instead of 1.4

Is the 1.4ml day your target? How many ml would you want to dose to add that amount?

You can dilute it (and all two part systems) with any amount of DO/DI water than you want.

Say, add 100 mL to 900 mL RO/DI, then dose 10x the amount you previously dosed.
