So I know I got at least 6 days of use from non refrigerated phyto.
So I’m changing up the setup just a bit. I have a few glass voss 16.9oz bottles. I’m going to be using these now sense there slightly smaller and I have a few of them and I can make a few pre-made dosing containers full. Then I can clean and sterilize them after usage.
So I took the bottles and filled them up to 350ml (that was the max I could go with out overflowing the bottle when adding air bubbles to keep phyto suspended) and made a line. Then I emptied out 150ml and marked another line at 200ml. I filled the bottle with 200ml of phyto and 150ml of fresh made SW.

That made these 2 containers. Then I took the last of the sample from the big bottle and poured it into the 16.9 bottle then I added about 3ml of fresh phyto(it was the last bit of the bag I had) and put this online to the doser.

How is week two progress? I just ran my Phyto line & programmed skimmer to shut off when dosing. Just need to calculate how much it will take to fill the line to display tank.
