I was getting old so I'm switching from CR to a GHL doser on this build. It will be for sale and i'll throw in some free Viagra.

To be fair, I built mine when I was much younger It's aged with me and served me well. I doubt I could use a doser, I have enough trouble with a TV remote..

I disagree; I think automated dosing is for old, forgetful people. I can't stick to a consistent manual dosing routine; I need the controller to do the remembering for me....
