What is your dosing schedule??

[Wilsonfeliz]

Jebao DP-4 dosing pump. BRS aditives, 18 times daily. Alk on the top of the hour and Ca 30 minutes later.

I’m dosing 100ml of alk and calcium solutions per day via brs doses controlled by my apex. Alk is dosed at the top of the hour 24/7 and calcium is dosed 15 mins later.

I'm dosing equal amounts of ESV 2 part. I have the Jebao DP-4 set to dose 4 times per day of each additive and are both dosed every 6 hours. Alk is first at 12am and 3 hours later Ca is dosed, so each additive is dosed a total of 4 times in a day and 3 hours apart from each other. I don't know how accurate the Jebao is at dosing small amounts so that's why I opted to dose more but spread out the dosing times. Been doing it this way starting last summer and Alk and Ca have been steady at 9 and 450 respectively.

I dose by dosing pumps controlled by my Apex. My total daily dosing is divided in to 24 doses, alkalinity at the top of every hour (24/7) and calcium at the bottom of the hour.

could you screen shot your scheduling for both please?

I dose 2 part every hour, alternating between ALK and CA.
So ALK gets dosed every 2 hours, 12 times a day, same with CA. So there is 1 hour between ALK and CA doses to prevent any possible precipitation issues.

I also dose a small amount (1ml) of amino acids every hour, 24/7. AcroPower and ME Polyp Extender, alternating between the two every hour. So each one is dosed 12 times per day. 24ml total per day

I only test ALK once per day, at roughly the same time. I don't try to manage hour to hour swings, just day to day, so I just dose a constant dose all day.

My ALK target is 8.5, but I'm OK as long as it's in a range between 8 and 9. As long as my daily test comes back between 8 and 9, I don't change/adjust anything. If it gets outside 8-9 range for more than a couple days, then I'll make a small adjustment to bring it back into range.

I use a Jebao 2.4 wifi doser. I've never had an issue with the doser, other than the Jebao doser app is quite limited and very clunky.

Using ATI Essentials Pro for my 2-part, diluted 4:1.

Dosed over 24 hours with apex dos
Tested with Neptune trident once a day

Neptune DOS I dose over 24 hours. Right now I am dosing TM all for one. When the 35 sps frag really start growing i will set up my calcium reactor. I have the bulk of AFR dosed from 6 am to 3 pm that is when my Alk drops the most.

I use a brs dosing pump on a timer to dose kalk in my larger display as evaporation is to erratic to use it in my ato. It's not a high demand tank so that is all I dose. My smaller system which has quite a few sps frags, I dose 2 part. 10ml of each part every morning. I dose the 10ml at one time manually each morning. I've been doing it that way for months and it seems to be working.
