anybody use these?
I want to get a 2 channel doser for dosing 2 part for my tank. These look pretty good except that they lose their setting when the power is cut off and the battery backup only lasts an hour.
I like the litermeter III, but its too expensive for me right now, and I'm done with calcium reactors. I'll never own another one.

any other places/brands i should look for a 2 channel dosing pump?

I have the Nautilis II, but I haven't hooked it up yet so I'm probably not much help. If you have any questions, shoot them an email. The owner Stan was very helpful when I emailed him with questions. The only problem with these is, it doses both channels at the same time, which can be an issue the the two-parts. I'm going to use it single channel for kalkwasser though, so it's not a problem for me.

i have the stabilizer. i like it a lot. i used to use a gravity fed dripper.

just out of curiousity why are you "done with CA reactors"?

tired of worrying about maintaining a drip and bubble rate. it was so much hassle and worry. a 2 part doser seems so much easier once you figure out exactly how much to dose.

trmiv,
i thought the nautilus 2 had 2 independant channels?

No, it uses a two channel tubing set to does two independent chemicals, but at the same time. They come from different tubes, but they both get dosed at once.

ah, thanks for the clarification.
