Looking for a Doser

[Adamc1303]

I have a 90 gallon heavy stocked LPS reef tank. I recently ran into a parameter issue with ALK and Calcium. I don't have room for a calcium reactor and the tank is only a 90 gallon. I want to get a dosing system. I need one that doses a minimum of 2 substances, so I can use it with ESV B-ionic 2 part. But I would get one that can do 3 or even 4 different substances just in case I would like to add something in the future. Let me know what systems are good. I was looking at the aquamedic ones.

Thanks,

Adam

Definitely go with Litermeter over the Aquamedic ones. I was very disappointed with my Aquamedic dosing pump.

I was in a similar situation last month. I read about the Aquamedic and didn't see anything good about them, I heard they have cheap/inconsistent rollers and definitely aren't the worth the money. I ended up going the DIY route using two 120V peristaltic pumps, total cost was $130 and extremely accurate/reliable. The LMIII also comes highly recommended but is spendy.

Which peristaltic pumps did you get for that price?

Litermeter 3, awesome unit!

Two part solution has peri pumps that work fine for dosing.

you will never regret purchasing a lm3. I liked mine so much i bought another one.

I love my LiterMeter III, set it and forget it. I'll most likely buy a second one soon, I only wish it could control more remote pumps.

I have the Aquamedic Duel doser and haven't had any problems at all with it.

Thanks for the reply.

OT: Sorry to butt in, but out of curiosity, are you guys looking into a doser, or currently using a doser, because you decided not to use a calcium reactor or kalkreactor?
