Bubble Magus T01 dosing pump

[fullmonti]

I seem to remember seeing some one using this in their mini frig feeding system. I am thinking about setting a system up & was wondering how well this pump system worked for nps feeding? Can it pump say 1ml or so an hour from three different containers, how happy where you with it, that kind of thing? Or would the BRS 1.1ml per min pumps & timers be better?
Thanks
Jim

Hi fullmonti

at present I have 4 bombs peristálticas, that I do not use, when I acquired them was thought of using them so that one of them adds the food gradually in certain times.

today, with a big variety of food I add it to the aquarium for dripping, and practitioner lasts 12 hours, I refill again and it continues the dripping in the night.

I use the BRS pumps because I already had a couple so it was cheaper. In the end I'm glad I did because I just use my reefkeeper lite to control the dosing, and it allows me to turn on other things at the exact same time as the dosing pump (i.e. magnetic stirrer and air pump). Not nearly as clean looking though, takes up a lot more space and you have to deal with more cables. As long as you can replace the heads on the BM easily I'd say its personal preference.

I will lay options good and bad with what your choices are. First, with any of your choices, are not going to be covered by the warranty because the intended use of putting it in a refrigerated device, so you are not going to hear me say bend the truth if you do The Bubble Magnus is a good choice; budget wise, visually looks good, performs accurately and is reliable. Here is the issue with it, there is little to no support for the product and if it breaks you are not going to get parts for it. With the the individual units by BRS are pretty bomb proof but at the same time are bulky and require secondary timing device. If you use a larger than 1.7 cubic foot refrigerator you overcome the visual dosing pump size to refrigerator ratio, just be creative and plan it out. The best option would be to bo with the GHL model. Accuracy, support, parts, appearence all weigh in its favor but it has the pricetag to go along with it. Any way you have it you can make a system to fit your needs and fall within a specific budget.

OK thanks every one.

I don't like the idea of buying some thing you can't get support/parts for. When the time comes looks like the BRS pumps will be best for me.

I'd swap the peri tubing on any of them to silicone.

OK thanks, I wouldn't have had any idea which tubing was better than another.
