Red Sea doser question

[Lavey29]

So I have never set up a doser before and am somewhat nervous. I have the until set up and calibrated. Is it best to watch a few doses into a cup first to make sure everything is accurate?

I'm only dosing like 20ml of alk and cal. Should I just do them in one dose with an hour between the alk and cal or break the doses up into 4 smaller doses?

Is it better to dose during the day or night?

When you set up the reef dose it’ll ask you to calibrate the doser to ensure the right amount of liquid is being dispensed.
I like smaller amounts periodically and I dose my elements at night.

Went from this to this in about 2 months

Yea I went through the calibration process and got them right on now I have moved the until to the tank in its designated position.

You can always do the calibration process a couple more times to ensure it’s dispensing 5ml but other wise I’ve had mine running for a while and it hasn’t failed on the amount I dose daily

Should I maybe fill the reservoir with some RODI first and watch the doser for a day to make sure it's operating properly?

First time ever using one and tank is a year old and don't want an accidental nuke because I messed something up in the set up.

So I'm up and running with the Red Sea doser. So far I'm very impressed with the reeflink app. I did program the dose wrong to start. Instead of 16ml of alk I tried putting 4ml dosed 4x a day. The system dosed 1ml thinking I wanted 4 total. When I changed it to 16ml it asked if I want to make up the missed dose, pretty cool. It dosed 5ml an hour later and will do that twice more to equal 16ml for the day. Pretty nice feature. Here is my set up now.
