Dosing Products

Use built-in generic templates or create Custom Dosing Products with Tank! Plus, always using information from your own product label.

Generic templates

Built-in generic Dosing Product templates are available in Starter and Tank! Plus as local product records.

Templates begin unconfigured and contain no universal dose values. Enter the dose amount and unit, reference volume, affected parameter, direction, and parameter change when applicable using your own product label.

Custom Dosing Products

Creating or editing Custom Dosing Products is a Tank! Plus feature. Custom product notes and warnings, including warning-note snapshots, also require Tank! Plus.

Custom products still use information that you enter from the product label. Tank! does not supply universal dosing values or manufacturer recommendations.

Distinct purposes

pH, KH/alkalinity, and GH are separate calculation purposes. pH Up and pH Down change pH, KH / Alkalinity Up changes carbonate hardness or alkalinity, and GH Up changes general hardness.

Product labels come first

Tank! does not choose targets, recommend products, diagnose or treat an aquarium, prescribe a dose, verify that a rule is safe, or guarantee an outcome.
