Seriously considering adding this to my system to replace my 2 part dosing. Anyone local using one and willing to show me the ropes?

Yes! ;)

Not sure that's considered "local", but if you want to drive down I'd love the help 😂

I use one and I love them. I have a GEO Reactor and after several tweaks, I finally have it dialed in. It keeps my Alk roughly at 10dkh and my Calcium at 420. I still check my parameters to make sure that things are settled or keeping up with the growth of my frags. They are awesome!

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback Justin. A geo one is what I was looking at. May have to pick your brain about getting it dialed in!

they are not hard and it will depend on your setup. mine was used from one of elegant reef closet clearing sales. it took awhile to get the right amount of feed from my manifold, co2 bubble rate and effluent drip amount. now that I have it, I don't mess with it and add alk and ca; if my parameters are off. if they continue to be off by more than 10 FL Oz, I'll have to start using my doses or use kalk.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.

To keep it dialed in and rock solid:
Use:
1: Aquarium plant carbon doser
2: masterflex peristaltic pump.
3: any pH controller/ apex
4: preferably Geo dual reactor.
