http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_Display.cfm?siteid=6&pCatId=3677????
Please help... is this a worthy product to buy? i have to go on vacation very soon and it seems my salinity goes up .01 everyday.
I dont have anybody that has saltwater experience to stop by and fill it for me. Everytime i look at instructions for a DYI i get confused.

Hi Black Perc, I have the Kent Aquadoser. I now use a Nurce unit for topoff but still use the Kent for dosing Kalc.

The aquadoser is better for topoff than pouring in water by hand each day, but I found it takes constant tinkering to get the drip rate right. I was adjusting it twice a day, in the morning and evening, in an attempt to keep the same water level in my sump (which translates to salinity).

You don't say how long you will be gone for vacation, but I think if it is longer than an extended weekend trip it would be worth your while to have someone check on your tank once in a while.
