When is a good time to use a doser?
Dosers can be used in many different types of aquaria, and can dose many different types of vitamins, elements, and fertilizers. Although they have recently become popular with the reef aquarists who’s water parameters are very sensitive and nutrient rich. They often dose elements such as vitamins, food, calcium, strontium, molybdenum, iodide, and other trace elements that naturally exist in reefs in different parts of the world. These vitamins and trace elements are metabolized and utilized by the inhabitants of the reef, both vertebrate, invertebrate, and even microorganisms. These are artificially added (via the doser) in an enclosed, artificial environment such as an aquarium. The doser can drip into the filter or even directly into the tank.
