Dosers

Is it ok to have my doser and other reactors feed into the sump where the skimmer is at?

I dose at the return pump section of my sump.

It's ok but not the best setup possible. Better to do at the return section as Ray suggested.

Agreed on return. Don't want to skim out what you add in.

If you are dosing alk or calcium it is best to dose where there is some water movement after the skimmer. Not into water that does not have much movement
