Did you use some weld-on to glue some acrylic into the inside of some kitty litter containers? Those are pretty sweet!
those dosers took me a day to build,I use those pails for my shipping.
1)Cut a rectangular opening on one of the sides of the square 4gallon pail,roughen the inside edges with some sand paper
2)Cut a 2" larger rectangle shape out acrylic (I had lying around) roughen the edges for better adhesive
3)Use 100% silicone around the inside edges place the acrylics sheet and some weight for a day till dry
5)Drill 1/4" opening near the top for the feed line
4)fill container with DI and the chemical of choice mix till dissolution place the lid run the hose and then to the doser
Hope that helps
I simply hated doing only a jug at a time and I have the room for it
I think I will sell each pail for $250 ($7 for the pail $3 for glue $10 max for acrylic sheet and $230 for the originality of the idea)

Your doing it bassackwards, first you get the controller, use it for 6 month then you decide you need a doser & try to save up for it as well as LED's. Geeze man get it straight would ya.

fishytime How about diluted mixtures of phyto, rotifers and a blend of zeo products? Or potassium, strontium and iodide....
I thought about potassium,iodine,strontium,molybdenum and iodide but until I could get those products in and be able to test, it might take a while and I think the water changes replace the rest of needed elements.

ScubaSteve Ok Elias, this is what you should do... build an NPS reef. Get an old beer fridge and drill three holes for the tubes and have the doser automatically feed live or fresh foods the reef. Just add a huge skimmer and you're set. I've always wanted to do that myself... oddly enough it's always been the cost of the doser that has stopped me from doing it (ahhh, to be a poor grad student, huh?).
If I give you the doser would you use it for what's said above?

I am still not sure of what to use it for or do with it
