So this seems to be a great thing for heavy feeders.

I'm thinking I will try this in the near future.

Perhaps using a doser would make things simpler. Am I correct? Do most of you use one?

Yes, if you need it. Sometimes you do, other times you don't. My 180 had 0ppm/0ppm with no carbon dosing. I think if you have a fully loaded tank, the corals use up the excess.
With my current tank, rock was leaching, so I found it useful. Once I rebuild next week, I won't dose unless/until I need to.

I use a peristaltic pump with a multi timer that runs for 7 mins 6 times a day.
