How often daily do you dose ?
 
since these polls seem to work , here is another .

Those of you using dosing pumps , what do you prefer as your dosing incriments .

I couldn't select, as there wasn't one that fit my criteria.

I does ALK every Tues, Thurs and Sunday

When I do my weekly water change, I dose additional Ca, Mg and Str. Adding the Ca to the newly mixed water, and dosing Mg/Str directly to tank, after water change.

Mg/Str is premixed prior, as I mix several containers giving me 1-2 months worth.

thanks for your input .I am trying to understand what a normal interval is

I dose calcium at midnight and noon and alkalinity at 6am and 6pm.
I then dose magnesium at 3pm and zeobac twice daily (not sure the times as the controller does it automatically)

So seven total/day but I picked 6.

I am adding a second dozer to dose some other zeo products in the next week or so.

I dose my supplements in 24 hr increments, I dose vodka and vinegar in 12 hr increments as I dose vinegar by day and vodka at night.

How come there is no option for zero??? I don't manually dose anything on a daily basis.

EDIT: nevermind! I read your post LOL. Was confused by the actual poll question but figured it out once I read your actual post.

Oooops, I didn't read the original post that well. I dose manually, so my original comment isn't relative. So sorry.

I currently dose my Alk at 8pm and my Ca at 7am, so that I'm around to make sure the pumps work correctly ...

I was considering dosing 4 instead of 2 times per day, but one of my timers stuck on once, and it would be a disaster for either of them to run all day :surprise: so I'm sticking with 2 times
