I have nothing to do with these auctions, but I am trying to get some activity on this forum that can actually help folks save a few hundred dollars (easy to do if you have the knowledge I do). Let's start with dosing pumps for dosing kalkwasser.
As everyone knows, there isn't a single decent dosing pump being sold in the aquarium industry (they sell junk at Marine Depot for about $350 for a medical "dosing" pump). No, to get something that really works well, you basically have to buy outside the vendors of the reef trade. Right now on Ebay there are two cole parmer pumps and head combos well suited (in speed) for replacing evaporative loss in most tanks (from 35g up probably):

If you get these heads, you'll need some neoprene tubing that fits these heads (L/S 13 size). You can call Cole Parmer to get you free sample, but the best plan is to call McCarr Master (www.mcmaster.com) them and tell them you need a generic neoprene that closely matches size L/S 13 Cole Parmer tubing.
I'll try to post more pumps on here from time to time.
