Question about dosing

Klein83 · 01/13/2016, 11:31 AM

Hi. Is anyone adding Coral A, B, E and bacteria, with a peristaltic pump or syringe dosing pump? With which you do it? I would like to automate the addition of these products to avoid having to put drops every day.
Alternatively, if it is possible to mix with water Rodi?
The last question is for staff Aquaforest: If you can not do the above, you have thought about make some product designed for peristaltic pumps?

I have a 90g tank

I don't think it's possible because you have to mix them well before dosing.

For Now - We don't have Coral supplements and food in version ready to dosing pump.

For dosing pump we have:
Component A, Component B, Component C

Ca Plus, Mg Plus, KH Plus

Component1+2+3+

Im just curious why cant you mix Coral A, B, E, & V separately with RO water and dose? What happens to it that is bad?

It is possible to use a Kore 5th with magnetic stirrer and to use the version of the unit that doses by drop. For automation of these supplements, this is really your only option.
Cheers

Two things I'm doing right now,

Using a kore 5th to dose by the drop right now but it's still a big problem because the entire bottle gets caught up in the tubing. Doing A, B, & E in this way.

Im testing V right now mixed with RO water. V seems the most stable visually. My tank need 4x drops per night. I mixed 40 drops with 1L of water on a stirrer I dose 100ml per night. I'll try this mix for a month and see if there are any noticeable effect positive or negative. Then I'll add the next one if successful.
