Which BRS dosers with Apex?

[ExFOWLR]

Which BRS dosers should I get for 2part dosing? I have a Biocube 29 I'm setting up with an Apex controller to run them both. Do you guys recommend I get the 1.1ml or the 1.5ml pumps and why?
Please keep this limited to those 2 pumps or something very similar as I don't need a sophisticated pump, the Apex will take care of the timing.
Thanks in advance, John

I have gone with the drews dosers - the 1.5 mL ones, only becuase they are tired and true. I had tried one of the BRS top off pumps and found it noisy, but I doubt that is a reflection on all their pumps.

I can't actually make a comparison because I haven't used a Drew's Doser but I've got about 10 of the BRS 1.1 and 50 dosers in operation and I'm pretty happy with them. I don't find them noisy, but they're all in dedicated sump rooms anyway. I really like the little mounting brackets they come with.

I currently have 2 DIY (actually the same exact APT pump as the Drew's Dosers) and they work flawlessly and are dead silent. I was able to pick the pumps up for $40 each and a Radio Shack Project Box for $6. You won't be disappointed with the Drew's Dosers.

Just wanted to point out that the pump I found noisy was a BRS top off pump, not sure if it was defective but it was not horrible or anyhting. The dosers I have used have been silent enough to where they would bother nobody.

Thanks everyone but I'm trying to determine if the 1.1 or the 1.5 ml would be better for my setup.

the BRS 1.1 ml have worked well for me. I think either would be fine, just setup periodic times throughout the day to dose your two part. I use a RKE system to do my dosing and so far it has worked fine. I check alk and Ca every week to determine if I need to up the dosing frequency.

I use the BRS 1.1 dosers with my APEX and like em. I've had the setup for about a year or so now.
