Looking for 2 Part Dosing Pump Suggestions

[Pawky]

I've decided I want to automate 2 part dosing and am looking for some decent dosing pumps that aren't outrageously expensive.

I'm considering this pump from Bulk Reef Supply

Has anyone used it before, or does anyone else have any recommendations/opinions on dosing pumps or on automated dosing in general.

Haven't used them personally, but I have heard many good things about them. When hooked to a digital timer(s), they are supposed to work well.

Beyond that, you could also look into a used Litermeter setup or the like. I use the LMIII for Ca, alk, and Mg, as well as their top off unit that is similar to the LMIII.

I've also been looking for 2 part pumps and will be going with the Drews pumps. Seem to be the best bang for the $. I'll have my ACjr control them.

For the $$ the Drews Doser from BRS cannot be beat! I have 2 and they work well.

That's what I have. I like the pumps. My AC doses intermitantly all night. Keeps my pH up.

No pump you can just add the two part in the tank slowly and don't have to worry about killing your tank.
I saw the LMII expensive put works good i will not put a timer on a pump forget about it.

Thats my plan too. I ATO 24/7 with saturated Kalk ~ 3G/day. It doesn't meet my demands so I need ~ 6oz each of recipe 1 per day. My PH is still on the low side. I'll set it up to add the 2 part maybe 4 times at night.
