Whether it be automatic or manual, how do some of you dose your tanks? Can you post pictures of your set up?
Does anyone manually dose anymore?

Is it very difficult to dose manually? I saw a BRS video, but they seem to talk more about the auto dosers than anything. Manually can be done but it seems like a POS. no?
Where exactly do you store the mixture that the dosers take it from? Do the dosers get hooked up to the BRS mixing jugs? Or where or how do the solutions get stored?
I'm not sure of placement

I keep my Calcium and Alkalinity in 2g tupperware cereal containers I got from wallyworld. The dosers pull it from them. I mix bulk in 7g water jugs so that I only have to do it every few months and then top off the smaller containers from that.
I'll send you a picture of the basement setup when I get home. It's much easier to see than the setup for the 120.

manually dosing can be done but it's a PITA... the BRS pumps and manual dosing equipment is nice but having to remember to do that everyday would be tough for me.
Here's mine dosing system
