Dosing Pump Setups / Reliable Brands for Ca and Alk supplementation

[ErikH]

Looking for ease of use and reliability. Would also like to know how the pumps are configured. Looking for something where I could push in a number (specific ml) for daily dosing.

LitterMeter has specific dosing but they are very expensive. Another option if you have a large tank or are able to dilute is to use interal pumps designed for feeding or IV use.

This is the one I use

With the 2 channel tube set I can dose 2 fluid in equal amounts at the same time.

I also have a litre meter, but I find this one more reliable and easier to use.

Try a GHL stand-alone pump.

I got drews dosers from bulk reef they work great man You will love them they dose slowly I have them hooked up to my aqua controller. They help out alot!!

Ah, good. Looking at the same.

For a large tank the ReefFillers from Champion are extremely reilable. They will pump kalk until the cows come home. They use 1/2" plastic line like for ice makers and I believe can pump 200' in any direction. They are kind of loud though.

I used to keep a 90 gallon tube of kalkwasser it would pump from. They also aren't damaged if they run dry.

NOT a good solution unless you can keep them remote to living areas of the house.

Can everyone post links? I'll post for this one in a second.

Did you get rid of your reactor Erik?

[ErikH]

No I still have both of them. I am always dripping too fast or not fast enough and it never seems to change. The Reactors are both AT LEAST two times larger than what I originally needed, and I am just looking for a better solution. This is still a big maybe for me right now though, just feeling out the idea. for now. Please keep posting if anyone has any experiences that they could share.
