[reeftard73]

So, the dosing pumps showed up today. I'll do a write-up for everyone later once I have them hooked-up.

[reeftard73]

Will do, but I'm not writing anything tomight. Maybe tomorrow or so. Sorry.

 

[lpkenneys]

Well???????????????????????????

 

[reeftard73]

Ok, so here's a teaser pic. The write-up is still coming. You can see the dosing pumps installed below the pH and Temp monitors.

Nice watch. Looks good D, looking like we need to add another board to the wall, you are getting all filled up. Did you get digital timers yet?

[reeftard73]

Yeah, I got a single digital timer with one outlet on each side. You can see it in the far right of the pic above. Its above your junction box mess. ;-)

I typed it that way to confuse you. Perhaps you would not recognize it and stay the hell outta my thread.

 

[lpkenneys]

Nice work!... so what is your impression of them so far?

 

[reeftard73]

I like the pumps so far. I don't have them plugged into the timer yet, but they seem to be dead-on to the calculation I made as far as drip rate and there's absolutely zero back-siphoning. I think they'll do my system a world of good.

 

[CBehr]

Are you plugging them into the same timer? I'm not sure if I want 1 or 2 timers, just afraid if I run both parts at the same time they will precipitate out.

 

[reeftard73]

I am running them off the same timer, for the sake of simplicity. I have a large enough sump that they drip far enough away from each other not to cause any instant mixing.
