Are there recommended times of day to dose? Does ALK need to be done after lights out? I thought I read that somewhere but not sure.

Martin, I have bee using the profilux standalone doser for almost 1.5 yrs and never look back to manual dosing. I am dosing Alk, Ca and Mg and am currently dosing 24 times per day ( once every hr). I used to dose 6x per day but I find that by dosing 24x the corals are happier a the water parameters are more consistent than dosing 6x.
