Nano cube 28 dosing set up

Ranchhand02 · 12/14/2017, 04:32 PM

I currently have a JBJ nano cube 28 gallon and I am using IO reef crystals salt. I have got several LPS and SPS colonies and I am no longer able to maintain my CA, Alk, MG levels with water changes alone. What would be a good automated system that I could use to dose my tank with?

My suggestion would be if you have an Apex get 2 BRS 1.1mL dosing pumps and program them to go a minute at a time throughout the day. , if you have no controller or good multi timers laying around and need a full unit Bubble Magus makes decent quality dosing pumps that are programmable.

I do not have a controller so I would need a timer of some sorts to turn them on and off. I would like an apex, but they are out of my budget currently. I will check out the bubble magus unit. Thanks

Can’t go wrong with a GHL doser as well. A little pricier, but you are getting quality German dosing pumps. I have the stand alone 2.1 doser and couldn’t be happier!
