Thanks guys. I do have diy led as well. Water doesn't evaporate much. Because I have a dosser that has 4 pumps(cal,all,mag) and I have one unused. So I just thought of using the extra pump just for topping off (RO with "Foz down") foz down is a phosphate remover solution which I am planning to add it to my top off water. Because I have a sumpless biocube and is isn't enough clearance to run gfo... As for now I am topping 50mls/day of RO which seems like it needs more

I have a 5.5. gallon. Nothing special and I add at least 1 liter a day. Plus I do a 60% water change every other day.

Your Jebao Doser will pump 1ml per second. I'm guessing your tank will require approx 2 litres per day of top off water, but there MANY variables like Scott mentioned. I wouldn't use your Doser for this application. If you wanna use the 4th channel for Foz down I'd just add Foz to a smaller jug mixed with water and dose according to your needs. And then run an adequate ATO with pump for evaporation

Ex: IF you require 2 litres per day you're asking your 4th dosing pump to run for 2000 seconds, that's 33 minutes per day. You'd be asking alot for this type and size of motor IMO
