Thanks Eric. I have used that before for dosing other things but didn't really like it. Looks like it's time for some research.

True... i am now looking for kalk reactor....

Man I dripped this stuf for at least 10 years. Never though much about it. It requires you keep messing with the adjustment and still it clogs up.
Spend some money and do it right, just sell off one of your "meat" corals. :D

Steve, at those prices, I'd have to sell all my meat corals and some. But that is an interesting thought tho. Do you know if the dosing pumps that are sold on EBay any good or at least comparable? Let's just say that I did get a dosing pump, what are the steps I would need to take in order to dose kalk properly? Sorry for all the questions but I am starting a 30 gallon tank and want to do it right, or as much as I can afford :( Thanks.
 
The first link is just a modified version of a medical pump or at least that's what it looks like to me.
Here's an ebay search for them.
Keep in mind some may need some sort of controller.
Also check with the seller that the alarm has been disconnected.

BTW... my comments on selling your coral are left over comments from another thread... not aimed at anyone in particular. :)

Thanks for the link, Steve. Those were the ones I was talking about. They sound like a pretty good deal. The Aqua Medic one looks like it was made for aquarium use.

No worries on the selling corals comment. I know what you were referring to ;) Unfortunately, I am not as rich as those guys :(
 
It got this dosing pump from ebay for $37...it's working like a charm..it has a recharge battery building inside and drip set...
