can someone post links to articles that talk about 2-part dosing?

i just read several posts where people bailed on their Ca reactor because the thing was unstable and causing low pH levels in their tanks and after switching to 2-part dosing, the tanks are doing much better and water params are much more stable.

i'm so fed up with fighting a losing battle to keep my pH up i'm considering switching. my tank is only 80 gallons so i suspect 2-part dosing would be easy for me to do.

I don't know of any articles on 2-part dosing. It's very easy to do. A two-channel pump like some Master-Flex models would be fine as an automated approach. Many people find dosing by hand easy enough, too.

I discuss how to make a DIY here, and how to decide what dose to use:
