    What are you using as your nitrate dosing?

    Valid point! With the Neptune dosers and the Red Sea dosers I have no fear of that but I could see other dosers that simply run on a timer malfunction. I did hear case of malfunction with hydros wireless power bar that loss of signal triggered the doser..

    What are you using as your nitrate dosing?

    @richiev -not yet. I am about to mix up some this week and just add in the equivalent of upping the NO3 by 2 ppm. But I am also slightly apprehensive although RHF said that if you mix at the level he prescribes there should be nothing to worry about. I intend to dose it real slow (11 ml over...

    What are you using as your nitrate dosing?

    Question is -what is your current NO3 now and where do you want to go with it? I have to measure again as my current NO3 is 5.x -which is fine -except for the fact that my PO4 is .6x - so I need to raise it about two to get on the other side of it. Below is the thread for ammonium...

    Kalk containers

    If it works it works! I don’t dispute the static method - I have a doser -issue is space so I need to swap out every 5 days in the jug I have. The avast will fit perfectly without playing jenga with everything else in my cabinet and it seems simple enough. Put 1/8 cup powder in every two...

    Kalk containers

    Thanks. Avast’s recommendation is to run it 24/7 to avoid clumps in the kalk powder that over time can impact motor and that is what I will probably do.

    Kalk containers

    @Patio & @jonmedina -every couple weeks you just put in whatever amount of powder and let it go or do you dump whatever is in there, refill water and kalk and then resume operation. Going for it after consideration of time, ease, and not playing Tetris again with everything stuffed in my...

    Kalk containers

    I do have a good doser. My concern is finding something I don’t have to fiddle with all the time. To your point @JVU -put in kalk and leave it and not worry about saturation!

    Kalk containers

    This is all good information. If I find a good 2 gallon jug might just do the trick then. Will last for 10-11 days then. Thank you

    Kalk containers

    Thanks for the info- And at that rate -it just pushes in the fluid consistency without need for a valve?

    Kalk containers

    Just coming from what Dan said at Avast-or I misinterpreted- But my question is - how much are you pushing into the avast at a time and how much are dosing kalk overall? My total is 600 ml over ~12.5 hours. It comes to approximately 10 ml every 11 or 13 minutes (intervals broken up over...

    Kalk containers

    What are people using for kalk containers? Right now I am using a one gallon jug with a rubber stopper that has a line going through it. I prefer glass over acrylic or HDPE plastic due to its caustic PH. I was considering the avast kalk stirrer but it seems to run via ATO which I don’t like...

    Nitrate at .2

    I am concerned about that. Although in a back and forth thread with RFH -he said as long as I stick to the formula there is a fairly large margin before I hit that threshold. Couple of other threads people reported that ammonia was undetected testing for it. Big thing is - 1) don’t directly...
