Newbie Q re dosing rate

[mike550]

Hello! I’m going to be setting up a doser soon (I hope) on my 120G and have questions regarding volume and intervals. I plan to dose Alk, Ca, and Mg and understand that they need to be dosed at different times. But would appreciate thoughts on how much I should dose during an interval and how far apart these intervals should be. Thanks in advance!

For me the first step (through testing) was realizing that water changes weren't enough. I was dosing manually, however due to the travel required with my job, I wasn't always available to dose manually. That's when I decided the dosing pump was the best solution.

I use Jebao DP-4s on one tank, and Kamoer X1s on the other. I've had success with both. I'm on the fence as to which I prefer, but will say the Jebao wins over the X1 in size and compactness. The X1 is quieter than the Jebao, and is bluetooth controlled. The push button menu on the Jebao is simple and easy to adjust. To each their own, I guess!
