I just setup my bubble magus doser maybe 3-4 weeks ago...everything works great and its a great doser for the $$

My problem is after lets say a couple of dayss or so, theres is like a clump of alk on the very edge or end of my tubing where my alk comes out.

Does anyone have problems with this kind of problem with the tubing and buildup? Any tips on helping prevent buildup.

I use reefcode for my alk/calc

its usually kalk that has the really quick buildup in the lines. one cheap suggestion is to put your tube below the water surface, instead of dripping from above. this might help mix it and prevent precipitate from building up on the tip. good thing is you can still see it working, as the alk will create a milky swirl when it doses.
