Thanks!! I forgot about that website. A lot of possibilities. Feel like a kid in a candy store!! Although another idea crossed my mind: get rid of the valve all together!!! Am I losing my mind? Maybe, but I'm starting to see deficiencies in my plants even though I am adding the same amount of ferts weekly that I was adding before. The only change I can think of is that before the plants were getting a dose all at once ie. I dumped several capfulls of Flourish and Flourish Iron at a time a few times a week- giving surges of nutrients. Whereas with the doser it's getting a small amount at a time. For some reason it seems to me my plants prefer the former.
I wonder what others who are using other dosing systems would say to that? Perhaps this is not an issue with their setups because it does not constantly administer the dose, but rather shoot a day or two worth of ferts in the tank when the timer goes off? I'm thinking I may want to adapt that method of administering the dose with the airdoser. So instead of using a valve just put the airpump on a timer to go off for X amount of time every few days. I think they have programmable ones that can do that?
