Automated 2 Part dosing Q's

[jcusmarine]

I was wondering what containers you all use for your 2 part solution?

Furthermore, any advice/lessons learned out there as I get started?

I have been maually dosing for years....this is going to be a great change when I get setup.

Thanks.

I've seen people use anything from milk jugs to 3 gallon water cooler jugs.

I am using the 5 gallon water jug that people use to buy water with.

Thanks for the replies. I was thinking about DIY'n a nice clean container with fittings and rigid tubing. I wonder where I can get the supplies locally?

You can buy rigid tubing at most Petsmarts, if not an ARC Sponsor. I have found very nice plastic containers for different reef purposes at The Container Store at Perimeter. I use a 10 gallon hinged top dry dog food container from there as my 100 gallon ATO reservoir.

I made a knockoff of the UltraLife sliding acrylic panel fish trap for my larger fish using a clear plastic dry spaghetti storage container from there as well.

If you want laboratory type containers, I would look at Wards or maybe USPlastics.
