TheKleinReef Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 They have done that to me as well. I resubmitted the order, but haven't received a call. Hopefully it gets processed. The sooner it gets shipped the sooner I can set it up Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Well my doser gets here tomorrow, and i've been trying to make room for it, and keep everything organized, but i'm at a loss. i need some adivce. if you guys had a setup like this: http://s147.photobucket.com/user/roger_090/media/A9D88E85-DDCE-47DF-B824-3CC9DED99787-16103-0000045741939E27.jpg.html'> http://s147.photobucket.com/user/roger_090/media/DF6F6759-BBA8-459F-A432-4FAF3D44907D-16103-000004574E076925.jpg.html'> http://s147.photobucket.com/user/roger_090/media/15F1A247-175E-4369-B774-6E18A2EA6F0E-16103-000004575E193646.jpg.html'> where would you set up the doser. i'd rather not have it on top of the dark stand because the tubing would come right out of the front and block the first shelf... any input would be awesome. side note: i found out how much my system uses in 24 hours over the course of 4 days: Ca: 100pm (1.25 tsp) Alk: 1 dKH: (1 tsp.)

TheKleinReef Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Doser gets here today. Where should I put it! I need some help people! Link to comment
RollaJase Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 The most logical place that I can see to mount the doser would be the middle shelf with the dosing reservoirs on the bottom shelf. You would have to move your power board though. Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Doser gets here today. Where should I put it! I need some help people! Back in the box and return to sender???? $600+ for a doser is just goofy. Especially when you have to seal the vastly overpriced containers yourself. My BM doser has been going strong for almost 4 years....at half the price of that vertex. Link to comment

Especially when you have to seal the vastly overpriced containers yourself. My BM doser has been going strong for almost 4 years....at half the price of that vertex. That doesn't seem very logical... I spent years deciding which one I wanted and why. It's the same thing as buying a junk skimmer or light the first time then upgrading. I'll never need to upgrade this. Unless technology gets redicuolous. Edit: I'm getting a 3 pump GHL ($409) not the Vertex Libra ($749) Link to comment

Deckoz2302 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 I like your thinking. I was afraid of that answer to cause I spent a while mounting the wires to the back of the stand to compliment this setup. Id do the same, resovoirs as low as possible. Id probably mount the doser to the cross section of the display stand and resovoirs on the bottom shelf to the left Link to comment

Deckoz2302 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 if i think i get what you mean, i'd like to keep it away from the sump area to avoid moisture disasters. True...but it is an open stand..lol Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 True...but it is an open stand..lol i'm talking more if it fell.... hah i'll see once i get it. i've gotten 2 good suggestions. Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 The vessels don't leak! Woohoo. Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Found a spot for the doser. now i just gotta mix up the solutions! i made 1000ml of alk and 500ml of Ca. Now i just gotta program this beast. hopefully i can get this automated by the morning! Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hell, if I were mixing stuff, I'd make a lot more than a liter. I made a gallon of alk when I mixed it, and even then I wanted to do more lol. Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 worth it. Current Regimen: Pump 1 (Alkalinity): 70mL/day (7 dosings at 10mL) Pump 2 (Calcium): 15ml/day (5 dosings at 3 mL) Pump 3: Empty for now (will be magnesium) Link to comment
BadCrab Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 That looks really really slick. Have me convinced on a doser and vessels now. Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 That looks really really slick. Have me convinced on a doser and vessels now. good they're awesome. and so sleek looking. Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 well here's an update on the doser... just calcium is running. that doses 3ml 5x a day. dor a compensation of around 15ppm. the alk on the other hand is causing me some problems. it won't fully dissolve, and seachem won't give me the information i needed... This is what i wrote: How much Reef builder will dissolve in 1L of water? How much Advantage Cakcium will dissolve in 1L of water? Two simple questions, hopefully i can get an answer.... Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted June 25, 2013 Author Share Posted June 25, 2013 Parameter Results: Calcium: 425 Alkalinity: 10.0 Magnesium: 1170 (low) Dosing Regimen via GHL: 1. Alk: 14mL/day 7x @ 2mL 2. Calcium: 15mL/day 5x @ 3mL Changes: Calcium Doser increase to 18mL/day 6x @ 3mL Plans: Buy the big bottles of seachem to make solutions. Message from Seachem: We recommend that you use 250mL of RO/DI water as a mix for every 5g of dry product on the Reef Advantage Calcium, so for 1L of RO/DI water you could use up to 20g of Reef Advantage Calcium. For the Reef Builder we would recommend that you use 250mL of RO/DI water as a mix for every 3g of product so for 1L of RO/DI water, you could use up to12g of the Reef Builder. Link to comment
--chris-- Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Seems like Seachem! lol, ive had very similar responses to questions ive asked of them. I like that the person on the other end actually knows what they are saying and can explain why. Seachems a good company. Link to comment
ZephNYC Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 I would use Seachem reef buffer instead of SC reef builder. It will up your PH a little bit. Link to comment
