Little background on this one. I dose limewater for 1 second every 2 minutes 24/7. The peristaltic pump that does this has a rate of 250ml/m.

I also dose a carbon source (vodka/vinegar right now) every 4 hours via another dosing pump.

They end up at a T together and dose out the same end and spot.



This keeps the tip clean from calcium buildup and some fun chemical reactions...another thread

My sump gets a lot of bacteria buildup which is fine with me. Particularly right in the spot the dosing happens



I sucked in some of that and keep in mind it's hit consistently with some pretty high alk/pH 24/7 so didn't know what to expect.






Pictures and videos uploading now.
