What products to use

[Pluedke1]

Hello I am setting up a Doser for the first time and would like to know what products people have had the best luck with. I purchased a stand alone ghl profilux 4 pump Doser and will be purchasing a slave unit when they come out. I would like to dose calcium, magnesium, and something for alk. What should I use in the fourth pump? Which brands should I use? I have an AWC and ATO that I am happy with. Thanks for any input.

No real need to dose mg. most tanks don't consume it fast enough.

I only dosed the Ca and Alk solutions. Keeping my SG @ 1.026 with regular WC's, I've never had to dose Mg. I used the BRS CaCl for Ca and Soda Ash for alk. If you decided to do some carbon dosing, you could use one of the pumps for that. I used to add some Iron once in a while when I had a fuge, but I just added it manually.

I have a bio reactor for carbon dosing.

Also, my tank eats magnesium. I use aquacraft bio sea salt as well.

How much magnesium does it seem to be consuming per day?
