WTB: Dosing pumps

[Wes]

I'm tired of manually dosing my two part and would like to automate. If anyone has applicable dosing pumps, let me know. Otherwise, it's off to bulk reef supply... I have bunches of SPS or $. LMK via pm or otherwise.

how big is your tank? if you have aquacontroller, aqualifters controlled by the minute can bee a cheep alternative

40br. I've seen those, but I haven't heard reports on how accurate they are. have you used them? Just slow them down with a little needle valve or the like? I do like doing things on the cheap...

yea, with a 40 breeder, you had better get a couple of drews... they are an outstanding value

 

[Wes]

yeah, too bad they're sold out of them right now. bah!

Got one but its designed for a much larger tank i use to used it for kalk & topoff good for 3 to 5 gallon evap/day

I use aqualifters for kalk, but I've never heard they were trustworthy for more precise dosing. I guess with a big enough tank you don't have to be nearly as precise...

naw, I want it to be more automated than that. I'd like to eventually be able to leave my tank for extended periods without needing tons of care from a tank sitter. I am dosing about 50mL daily, I wonder what one minute on an aqualifter gives you... I could dilute to meet my needs with the amount it doses in a small period of time, if it's accurate every time.
