Thanks Tony...I got a lemon from innovative it's kind of broken the knob on the side are all glue together and the front missing few chips here and there...
do I have to run it with a timer? I'm confuse with the instruction!

 

[Tonyscoots84]

the knobs on the side really dont matter unless ur doing a hospital kind of setup with it being mounted on the pole... but there is no timer needed and did you get the dual hose for the 2 part... it comes with a single hose if your dosing 2 part u need the dual...

you plug it in set it, to what you want and let it do its thing...

he also states if your not happy with it he will replace it...

Thanks T...yeah I got the dual hose.
u've mention that every digit it=7ml.
it's this mean it'll dose 7ml every hour each individual channel (24/7)?
with that rate it would be too much for my tank.
how much r u dosing and how do u set it up(24/7 or night only)

i use the same doser on a 45gallon sps cube i have it set for 8
which equals 56mil i run it 24/7. i dont know what that would mean for you every system is different. i run zeovit so i keep my alk at 7dkh. start off with a low setting and every couple of days check your alk in your tank. continue to raise up your setting till you reach your target alk level good luck,mike

 

[Tonyscoots84]

yea it depends on how much ur system will use up of the alk... how many colonies and frags you have... i have mine set to 11 with the amount of frags i have and it stays around high 9's... but as mike said every system is different...

set it at 8 or 9 and check ur levels the next day at the same time you started it... then up it from there...

Thanks Mike your info r very helpful...I'm manually dosing(drip) about 100ml daily to keep CA 440, Alk 10dkh, so I'm trying to find out what # to set.
BTW r u using the high value set of tube?

 

[mmike1992]

i use the standard tubing

100% agree every system r difference.
I'm calibrating the pump with tap water as I type with it set at 10.
Thanks again T
