I have my all my tanks setup via and auto doser. I dose macros daily. I just recently setup my 55 gallon and have noticed the plants look much better then they did before. The crowns of the plants are larger, faster more steady growth. I used to dose every other day, macro/micro. I still dose micros every other day. My 29 gets daily dosing of both, plants are always healthy and that tank is free of all algae, I get spot algae on my anubias golden in my 55 no matter how high PO4 is. Auto dosing is the way to go. Mix it up every 2 weeks and forget about it!

So what are your experiences with daily dosing, why are the plants healthier? Tanks algae free?

What kind of doser are you using? How much was it and what amount does it dose daily?

Isn't this essentially the premise behind the PPS system? I tried it for a while, and things were mostly ok. But since I had to do it all manually daily, found it easier to go back to my modified EI type dosing. Autodosing surely is a much easier way to do it. Out of curiosity, do you have hard or soft water?

Can you post a new px of your tanks in your threads so we can see the difference?

Here is the auto doser that I made,

its a culmination of ideas that I have found on other forums. Pretty simple.

Im not real familiar with PPS Bert, but it sounds similar. I have soft water
