IV DRIP and other Dosing methods (1 Viewer)

[haze_9]

Question.. I know when don't I have a question....

Right now I dose my 72 Gal Bow front 2 part B-Ionic in the morning before I leave for work. Yeah I need to automate this system. I have read ideas where folks have used IV Drips ect but not really finding out how.

Any advice on how I should automate this process a bit?

I used to do the drip with Mrs. Wages from a kent 5 gal drip container. I think they run about $40 or $50 bucks... would sell you my smaller 21/2 gallon one if your interested

I also tried dosing with Kent, Liquid reactor, it totally screwed up all my water parameters. I'd get one right and dose with the liquid reactor, and i'd get a bunch of precipitate, and throw everything out of whack.

I've gone to dosing Calcium Chloride, Magnesium, and Alk in pump bottles.... Seems to work better for me in keeping all my water parameters in check.

Nice looking tank by the way... :-D
