If they say is fine that's a good news, about the acrylic I was talking about the dosing containers.
I never asked to the Neptune forum cause the instructions for the DOS say to avoid methanol.
I wonder if probably depends also on the quantity in the product

I wonder if you could dilute the nopox like 20:1 with RO and then dose 20 times the volume.

That's what I would do but use a cheep BRS or JL top off pump like 50ml/min.
Since they are like $100 each not $500

I got 2 -1.1ml/min shlobster and a 50 ml/min one and they are both basically bang on. been probably 2 years? maybe longer they were around 90-100 each but realistically it doesnt matter if it doses more or less than advertised as long as its consistant you can adjust your on/off time,
i have no problems with cheap jebao power heads in fact i really like them but something as important as dosing, ill spend some extra $$. i tried the magic marine doser 2 motors crapped out in a month or so and I learned my lesson.
