What type of dosing?

[therealtoddius]

I was wondering what type of dosing everyone uses. Do you just add by hand or do you use equipment to acomplish it? If you use equipment then what type and what about top off water? I need some input to help me decide what will work best. Thanks. I am presently using a kent hanging container to drip kalk and drip in additives during the day with top off water. I have a couple of IV pumps around but could not get them to work properly. I am debating on a litermeter system.

I use a Liter Meter and a Kalk reactor. I don't add any other additives to my tank but I also use a Ca reactor.
I really like the Liter meter. Its small, quiet and easy to setup and use.

I don't dose anything.

I use a Lifereef float switch connected to a very low powered pump in a resevoir for top-offs. I also dose B-Ionic daily to keep Alk/Cal in check. I've contemplated dripping kalk, but have had good results with my current setup.

It is a controlable dosing pump. They are kind of expensive though.
