Liter Meter III

[ECFENCING]

I recently got a litermeter III in a trade and while it's a great doser it doesn't handle small increments very well.

The minimum quantity to dose is in 10ml increments .01 Liters

For those of you who have litermeters on smaller tanks how do you compensate to dose something in between. Let's say my dosing requirements would be 15ml Part A and Part B would you change it to 20ml and then maybe dilute the solution a little?

I know in the grand scheme of things it's probably not going to make a material difference (15ml versus 20ml) in the levels but it would be nice to get more granular.

I think I am going to use the litermeter iii for automatic water changes if I can set that up and look for another dosing pump (reefoman's doser one evolution looks nice)

The other nice thing about the litermeter is calibration. Don't know if the other dosers have a calibration function (I'm sure they do). Only other doser I've used before is a bubble magus and while I had a good experience others haven't.

Input welcomed. Thanks in advance.

I should add that I also have an apex so maybe I can control an outlet to be on for a certain period of time and limit it that way.

Dilute your solution in half. Fill your dosing container 1/2 way with addtive and then fill rest of the way with RO/DI then dose 2x as much as usual

Always good posts from you inevo. +1

That works! So for every 1ml of solution I'm really dosing 0.5ml of that solution since it's diluted 50%. So if I need 10ml I would set the doser to 20ml or 2x original but I'm really dosing 1/2 of that since it's diluted by 1/2 and also if I needed 15 ml I'd set it to 30ml per day but I'd be getting 15ml of concentrated solution.

Or I could set it up on a timer but like the dilution method better.

Thanks.
