not so expensive controller?

[NanoDrummer09]

Im looking for a controller for just my alk cal and mag. Nothing fancy just to monitor and dose for me. Anything not that bad out there?

MONITOR Those ? Not happening for cheap. Dosing only, just use an rkl and 3 dosing pumps or a standalone like bubble magus.

The RKL can control 2 dosing pumps.

The pumps would add a set amount of 2 part each day. By testing the amount of alk and calcium you can figure out the consumtion rate of your tank.

Set the pumps to dose back that qty each day. Test periodically to make sure that you are on target.

Once you find the sweet spot it is pretty easy. That is the most economical method I can think of.

the dosing pumps alone would be over $150 plus the controller, like you said unfortunatly not going to happen
