![]() That makes sense. My math did not add up in this specific case.

![]() Math may have failed you but you can feel better while you login on your iphone and fiddle with your system remotely lol. I think all of these methods get the job done and are pretty reliable.
One reason besides the cost (I'm not sure which TOTAL solution is cheaper) for me is to not have all my eggs in one basket. Ranco for temp control (heater/fans) and Tunze Osmolator which has a very solid track record for ATO. One day I'll buy a stand alone doser as well. I can appreciate the slickness of everything controlled in one place but I'm really liking dedicated pieces of equipment so I can choose what I feel are the best at doing each thing. Interested in your review...especially in the long-term. |

![]() Nice review.
This is what it would take for me to switch from a calcium reactor to automated 2-part dosing: A controller/computer that would adjust the dosing rate and also bolus dose Ca Alk or Mg depending upon the Ca Alk and Mg readings input by the user. For example if you measure your Ca at 350, your Alk at 11 and your Mg at 1100, you input these values into the doser and it would automatically bolus dose some Calcium and Magnesium, then it would increase the infusion rate for Calcium and Magnesium and decrease the infusion rate for Alk. Then next week you repeat your measurement, input the values into the doser computer and it would fine-tune the infusion rates again. It should not be too hard to do this, it is simple math and it would more or less make the Cal/Alk/Mg levels run on autopilot. If there is any system already set to do this I will buy it.
