Has anyone ever used a dosing pump to dose Dr. Tims Waste away?
I have used it in the past with great results and am thinking this might be an easy way to add it a few times/week automatically. My rocks are always covered with a thin layer or bacteria/slime/fuzz and it really takes away from the beauty of the tank.
I have tried the waste away sticks they sell that promise constant dosing for a couple weeks but they don't work in my opinion.
I am thinking of placing some rigid tubing in the Dr. Tim's bottle and adding a small stir bar. I will have the stir bar on a timer and spin for a few minutes before dosing starts. I will probably have this scheduled for night time and will shut off the skimmer until morning as instructed.
The other option I was thinking of was biting the bullet and buying a UV sterilizer which may or may not solve this slimy rock problem.
