WTB Cheaper Dosing
- Thread starter crustytheclown

I've been happy with the BRS units, I think their package with the dosing pumps as well as all of the mixes and jugs is the way to go. http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/brs-2-part-calcium-alkalinity-total-package-with-dosers.html
I know we are just about as far from it as possible, but on Black Friday these dosers get a good markdown. That's how I got mine, and they have been on sale for at least the last 2 years.
I also have the Neptune Dos and I really like it. Easy to set up and use and extremely precise....I like the fact I can tell it to dose 3.6 Ml 14 times a day, or whatever dosing schedule I may want. But it isn't cheap.
I've seen IV drip setups used before, but I would caution users to make sure they know what they are doing as an extreme overdose could nuke the tank (even cheap dosing units can get stuck in the on position, apparently)

I don't know why 3 of these units (Cal, Alk, Mg) wouldn't work if you were willing to venture that route....
I like redundancy or running through Apex, feels safer to me as a person who overdosed Kalkwasser once and nuked a tank.
