Can I see your BRS 2 part doser setups

masonicman · 09/25/2012, 01:15 PM

Can I see some photos of your BRS dosing setup PLEASE? Sump or HOB setups, does not matter. Brief description would be helpful also. I have limited space so I'm trying to get an idea how and were I can put my systems when I get them.

Here is how I have mine set up. I just set them up on the same timer so they both go at the same time. If the flow is slow enough (1.1 ml per minute is what mine is) then they will be fine to go on at the same time. I have it set to 9 minutes which puts in basically 10 mL of Calc and Alk.

The tank sits in a niche between a wall and a utitlity box. I didn't know why I did it then, but I set the tank and stand about 14" away from the back wall. Now, I know why. It allowed me to put a 12" shelf in that space for "stuff", set low enough below the top of the canopy so that you don't see anything when you are standing in front of the tank. Since there is a wall at one end of the tank and a utility box that goes from floor to ceiling at the other tank end, you cannot see behind the tank either. I put the BRS 2 part and a BM doser up there.

Here is a pic taken from above the canopy. You cannot see anything when you stand in front of the tank. Since this pic has been taken, I added magnesium dosing, so there are now three containers that go through the BM doser. Plus I have assorted odds and ends stored on the shelf, hidden from view.

Not under tank, but here are some I installed earlier this year. Calcium, alkalinity, vinegar and 50ml/min ATO.

No, you may not. How dare you.

Here's my setup on my 25 gallon nano, space was tight in the stand so I had to mount them on the wall directly behind.

Only have 5 inches between the stand and the wall.

Found these containers at biglots, they're made to hold saltine crackers. They fit perfect behind my stand.

Sorry for the phone picture.

I do really like the white wire rack I found at Lowes. Very simple setup, but i love it.

BTW, here's a related tip. If you are looking for clips to hold tubing in place here's one handy one that I found. These are the 3M brand stick on easy off poster holders. They were designed so that you just slide the poster unto the clip, but the rounded end is perfect size to hold the tubing.

This airline gang valve from petco works great too. The part that you see with the check valve and black air control valves pops off as a unit, so you are left with the a nice piece that hangs on your sump/tank with holes for tubing. Also comes in a 4 way model, i'm currently using the 2 way.
