Hey looking to get another dosing pump. Thinking about the Vertex Libra (DC) or GHL Profilux. What say you? I don't want a Bubble Magus.

I don't think you can go wrong with either. I guess in the end, it'll be price point and the amount of support you get from each of the units (whether official support or forum support).

In regards to the Vertex Libra, the DC Motors are a little less accurate and louder. The Stepper Motor is a lab grade pump and very precise.

If you are hooked up on Apex then BRS dosing pump. Not exactly baller status for all the cool-kids reefers out there but the best control in my opinion.

Right now I'm using the Puratek Insight controller. Not that its not possible , I would just need the upgraded Incontrol (like an EB8) in order to do that.
