$120 with free delivery for a three channel doser.... pretty good!
HI, thought you might be interested in the info I just read about these 2 products

I will be dosing on mon and thurs with one and wed and sun with the other.. see how it goes.
It makes sense as they do both contain very similar ingredients and one needs to be in the fridge.

I've had a think about the dosing and I'm going to start using the advice from Seachem. (I keep both of them in the fridge anyway)
I need to dose 12ml of each over 7 days (100L tank). I would prefer to spread it out and dose evenly over the entire week, rather than 2 lots twice a week.
So to make it easy I'm going to dose 3ml of each on alternate days.
And because my memory is shit I have a button method on the fridge to remind me which one to dose. :D

lol,,,thats funny my memory is shit too. so I have marked the bottles with a permanent texta. Mon wed on one and thurs sun of the other... getting old sucks..lol. Let me know how you go. It seems to make sense not to dose together, I was putting 100ml in the tank it did seem to be a lot. 50ml 4 days seems a lot more sensible,
@Lesley are you still getting good results with the dosing?
Yes , very impressed.Some of the corals are showing feeder tentacles that I have not seen in the 12 months having the tank. I am just wondering if I should still be dosing Reef Energy A & B on the other days like Red Sea suggested while using Nopox. Or am I wasting my money. I have seen more results in the trace & plus than I saw in 4 months of reef energy ? Do I need both ? Opinions please ?
I actually just sent you a private message hoping for some advice.
P.S when I was doing together(100ml) my skimmer would go nuts for about 10 mins. Since doing it separately it doesn't do that any more. Seachem informed me that it will only do that when what your dosing is not being utilized by the corals and if it does it again to cut the dose down slightly. But all good skimmer has stopped doing it now.
Things haven't changed much, the tank has really settled into cruise mode.
Still dosing the Plus & Trace, although manually now so that I can keep them refrigerated.
I dose 3ml of one of them one day and 3ml of the other the next day, and so on.
I only use my dosing pump for Randys Recipe which now has been fine tuned and has the tank at the parameters I want ( Alk - 10.5, Calc - 450, Mag - 1350).
I no longer dose NoPox and my Phos is steady at between .03 -.05 - which I'm happy with because that's the readings I get from the NSW I use and the tank isn't sending it any higher.
Nitrates are at 0 as usual.
I'm only running a small bag of carbon and a small bag of PhosGuard (that's all I have room for in the back).
As for the condition of the corals, all the stock is super healthy with strong growth across the range. My Blastos and Duncans have an amazing amount of new heads growing, along with the hammers which are getting bigger all the time. Zoas and Morphs spreading like wild fire.
I think the tank has reached a very stable level, I have no problems with Cyno or any hair algae. Coraline has got to the plating stage and has kept the nasty stuff away.
Very happy tank. :)
