According to BRS, you should dose it after a full gallon of ca and alk has been dosed, but I found it easier just to automate it. extra 68 bucks is a awesome deal, but its up to you. I have my set at 55 secs every 24 hour, it seems to work well for me.

What settings do you run for cal/alk ?
Do you use a controller or digital timers ?

I have a aquamedic 4 pump doser. It does the job but its not perfect. I run my calcium at 3 mins every 3hours(-+4.5ml every 3 hours) and alk at 3.5 minutes every 3 hours, I try to keep them hour and a half alternating. I have my alk tube going into the filter sock and caciuml tube zap-straped to the overflow output, and mag directly into the sump. Oviosuly the dosing amount will vary according to you tanks consumption.
