For dosing under 1ml you can slow the pump speed down so it doesn't run as long. The setting will still say its dosing 1ml but because the speed is wrong its actually dosing .5ml or whatever.
Either that or I will try to maintain a software patch. I'm not sure yet.
I will only get back to the dosing bit next year. No time over the holidays.
The box is a small junction box style enclosure. Way expensive the bloody thing, but I knew it would work well.

The European style plugs are bloody pain. I went for the two pole plugs because that way I had a chance of fitting eight of those.
The German Schuko style plugs with ground wire would have been more correct. But they are huge.
I only had to modify the plug on one device to fit.

I have seen a few people using the glass pipes in there tanks for returns and to surface skim and all of them are very expensive after having them in your tank how do you feel about them and would you re-buy them
I am thinking of setting up a 40G tank for blue rams and have a micro garden
Thanks. It is my first attempt at aquascaping. I would do a few things different now. (And will eventually)
But I found the entry back into my old hobby quite easy. I had no experience caring well for plants before from my previous aquaristic endeavours back in my youth. But that is pretty easy. Lot's of fertilizer, light and CO2.
Here you see how the plants go nuts and perl O2 like crazy.

Lillypipe glas outflows are really cool. And not crazy expensive. I paid 30 EUR for a cheap one.
The glas skimmer is maybe not quite worth it for me. It keeps the surface free from crap, but it's also a very visible ugly huge piece of technology in the tank.
I am failing a bit keeping stuff out of the tank. CO2 reactor and heater are in-line types outside the tank. But I keep adding shit back in. Like the Twinstar and air bubbler. You can't win. (Airbubbler will be replaced with a smaller one)
Lilly-Pipes also suck scum off the surface. That could have been good enough.
But with a 50 Gallon tank, things look very different. Much more space.
