Have you considered using these? I use one on my kalk reactor and it works perfectly.

Jimbo, not to hijack, but that looks like a cheap way to go. Do you have them on a timer? I see that they are rated to run about 3 1/2g an hour. You just run them for 5 minutes a day? And... VNAT might want to hear this as well, do you stagger them about an hour apart so as not to turn the mix into a white out or "sand" when both parts "A" and "B" hit each other in the tank? I'd think that a 20 minute to 1 hour separation would be perfect.

It IS a cheap way to go! Im not going to spend a ton of money on something that works just as well for pennies on the dollar. Since I use it for auto top off, Its used in conjunction with a mechanical float switch, it only comes on when the water level in the main tank drops below a chosen set point. Ive been using the same pump now for almost three years, just clean it occasionaly and use a pre filter and youre set to go.

VNAT, Keep in mind then what my questions were. In fact I think I'll order 2 of the pumps when I get home. But you'll need to have them on a very short timer so as not to add way to much of either parts. You'll need 2 of them and you'll need to stagger the timers with at least 20 minutes of time between them. I figure by now that you understand why you cannot just follow part "A" immediately with part "B" as they will negate each other. In the end it does sound like 2 of these pumps with a time could indeed be a cheap method of delivery.

I have an aqua medic dosing pump you can have. I used it and thought it was a pos. I use one of those aqua lifter pumps to feed my calcium reactor and so far it is working great.
