I'll be installing this kind of dosing system on a clients tank in the next few weeks. I will also be switching out my Ca reactor for this kind of system, to me it just makes more sense. Even when my Ca reactor is working flawlessly it does not match my systems requirements perfectly, still always have to correct levels manually, plus I find a Ca reactor always needs constant attention to keep the flow rate of water and CO2 constant. Why not have a system that simply doses exactly what you need everyday automatically and requires less attention and maintenance?

Looking forward to this system, thanks!

I agree with what Sphelps said. I also plan on dosing when my 225 is up and running. And space isn't a huge concern. Most dosers can draw from jugs that are in different rooms or hidden a floor below although I have set aside room for 3 jugs.

Yeap, plus Ca reactors take up just as much space if not more with the reactor and CO2 tank.

Thought I'd post a picture of my dosing setup. Note the hi-tech bottle on the right for Mg.


Ocean Aquatics isn't carrying the trace elements for the Balling Method yet. Next time I'm on the island I'll check out Progressive Reef.

This is truly the superior method to a CA reactor.

Some day I'll switch from my CA Reactor but for now I'm still fighting with CO2
