Hey John, congratulations on TOTM. Things are looking spectacular!!

Prior to dosing, I test the water and see where I am at for each level, then mix the apporiate dose with 2 cups ro water, let it sit for 10min then slowly add it 100ml at a time with 15-20min in between, I usally do this while I am geting ready for work in the morning, and when I get home at night the same applies.

When I used to dose manually I drilled pin holes in the cups I used and set them on an eggcrate shelf on top of the sump so they would drip into the system slowly. You could do one (ca or alk) in the morning & one at night, or drip at opposite ends of the sump. Although it's rather a "ghetto" way to dose it worked quite well and I didn't have to baby sit the process. Anyway just an idea to save you some trouble.
