    Unfortunately we have not re-bid our work schedule yet so if we have it at 1:00pm ish I should be able to come. But don't do it just for me. What ever works the best for everyone. Thanks

    I can't make that date. I'll be in Winterset watching my great niece show her bottle calf.

    Have a good meeting.

    Dosing sounds good @Armydog@Armydog . I could learn a lot to benefit my tank on that subject. Time and place set yet?

    I have 2x BRS dosers, one is 0.066 L/h which I think is the 1.1 mL/min one

    http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/brs-2-part-doser-1-1-ml-per-minute.html

    one that is 3 l/h which I think is the 50 mL/min one

    http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/brs-top-off-doser-50-ml-per-minute-1.html

    I think I might pop for a Milwaukee one

    http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/milwaukee-mp810-dosing-pump.html

    And the RK DP1 since I have a NIB RK Lite and it says it works with that

    http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/reefkeeper-dp1-dosing-pump-digital-aquatics.html

    Then I also have a used one I got from Jeanette which I haven't set up yet

    So yes, I say let's go for that.

    I have to double check with the boss, but right now 6/18 is open in the AM and up until about 3 or 4pm for sure, possibly later but I will have kid duty after 4ish...but he's pretty self sufficient. We should be able to do this inside around the island in our kitchen, which has plenty of room and outlets on each end. Will get the final word later today.

    PS as long as I say "we're not making food this time" I think we're good.

    I can do dosing I have 1 each of the brs ones and I have been waiting to set it up with a 2 part system. I also have an apex we could use. Could do it here, my sump is very accessible and everyone could see.
