Come on Doser where are you?

eli@fijireefrock.com 12-24-2011 04:09 AM

UH back from shopping man things are expensive :twised: and the wife keep saying and this person and this one and this family oh and these kids and, and, and,.....Oh ye and we didn't make supper so lets go out :twised::twised:

Anyways I like this thread simple trail leading each other to...somewhere :biggrin: well to give me an idea as to why,when and how you are planning on using the doser.
I have read through most of the emails I received, and most of you of course say we could use a doser because (a few reasons) As originally said its a give away so i think everyone that post here telling all of us why you deserve this free prize#1 I think near the end that would make my decision easier as to who will receive the doser.
Rules are simple play have fun, tell us some stories,explain in details why you or someone else deserve the doser and make friends :biggrin::biggrin:
I will be posting some of the emails i received without any names...

Are you asking me to send you your original email or the few in between:biggrin::lol::biggrin:

Well maybe you need to send me another email more updated.

The Grizz 12-24-2011 04:38 AM

I will send you another one, when is the deadline to have them in by? My head hurts to much tonight to do it now.

ScubaSteve 12-24-2011 05:14 AM

Are you posting our emails or are we supposed to do it?

Snufflupagus 12-24-2011 05:14 AM

So we have to write another message about why we would like this doser?

Here is my action. I am out I am sorry.
I like to win and I need a good doser.
Off to a boxing day I go. One question if every one writes a good essay they all deserve to win.

Snufflupagus 12-24-2011 03:36 PM

Alright well here is my shot at writing about why I think not only I, but anyone else would need/want this doser.
It's pretty simple when I look at this great give away, it's a free doser, who in the heck wouldn't be all excited about winnging a free doser, maybe only people who don't dose anythign to their tanks or anyone who has a doser already lol Though I like the idea about having to write an essay on why someone would need the doser more than someone else, I beg to differ that any one person would need the doser more than any one other person. It's still a doser, it doses chemicals that the user needs to dose to their tank to enhance the life of things within the tank. I'd think it would be hard to believe that one person would need to do this any more drastically over another. In my case I started a tank in dreams of having a SPS dominated tank, inwhich I need to dose daily. I'm manually dosing daily and the doser would level out my dosing so my tank doesn't spike (calcium for an example) when I add it all at one time because I can't be home to dose 10 times a day.
That being said, I don't believe I need the doser more than anyone else, and I think if anyone else thought they needed the doser more than one other person, I'd beg to differ. In the original post the rules were simple, Keep the thread going, I'd like to think I did my fair share of keeping the original thread going and making it aware to others to join in the give away. I played within the rules and am still happy to be part of the give away. I plan on using this doser 100% for my tank for the ease and care of my corals.
All in all, everyone will make out what they want about what I've written here, but I will still stand by what I've said and hope others do too.
Cheers and Happy Holidays to All...Good Luck.

reefwars 12-24-2011 03:40 PM

currently writing up why i want the doser i think youll find its a dfferent use than anyone else has and will make for a cool build thread:):)

reefbyremote 12-24-2011 04:30 PM

simply a bump to help a local supplier!

philg3 12-24-2011 08:39 PM

Fine let me dig out that email from my sent items, I've actually been looking forward to hear what some other people wrote. Mine got kind of wierd while i was trying to be creative enough to stand out of the crowd :mrgreen:

philg3 12-24-2011 08:42 PM

Hi Elias,

Im almost finished setting up my upgraded 60 gallon Reef tank/30 gallon Sump now with a 15 gallon display refugium and have been debating picking up some sort of dosing pump to maintain Calcium and Alkalinity. Well this pump will solve my problem, but then another one arises. What to do with the third doser?

-Magnesium?
-Strotium?
-Auto Top Off?

These all seem like great ideas, but a little boring. My tank isnt huge so i should be able to top off trace elements with regular water changes and maybe a manual dose every once in a while. And I've already got my ATO working with an aqualifter. So maybe its time to get a little more creative.

1. Rube Goldberg Machine
http://www.utexas.edu/features/archi...hics/rube3.jpgThis would never work out here in Vancouver because it rains way too often, I'd be late for work all the time. But now with my handy doser, I can be woken up at the exact same time every morning.

2.Chinese Water Torture
http://www.stooryduster.co.uk/comics...5-11-harsk.jpgI have always wanted a dungeon of some sort in my basement, and what better way to start a good private dungeon than with a chinese water torture chamber. With my new dosing pump i could leave my dungeon unattended for long periods of time knowing that i will get a consistent and measured drip on the foreheads of my victims.

3.Refreshment
http://youoffendmeyouoffendmyfamily....yal_on_ice.jpgMost importantly, I work long hours at the office and like to enjoy a glass of crown royal at the end of the day. I could run some tubing straight into my freezer and have a perfectly measured glass waiting for me next to my tank every night when I got home.



So as you can see Elias, the dosing pump would not go to waste in my home. But whether my entry is picked or not, I will probably be giving you a call in the next month for some Carbon & GFO as I get the tanks filled and running again.

I'm look forward to hearing what other Canreefers had planned for this dosing unit.

Cheers,
Phil

Insomniac's middle of the night bump, is it Jan 1st yet?

WAIT!! Shouldn't you give this away Dec 31st, after all according to the MAyan calander there is no 2012 & the world is going to end. So I would like to know that I won the doser before I go so I can rest peacefully. :biggrin:

Nope, Santa & I came to an agreement last year. If he didn't want his sled jacked I was to stay on the extremely good list. :twised:
