Dosing Pumps

I'm looking to get a dosing pump, actually two, to dose 2 part. I want something that is reliable but I also don't want to pay a fortune. What would you suggest? Any that I should absolutely stay away from.

Thanks, Adam

Any other suggestions...Has any one had problems with the AquaMedic Reefdoser double. I read the review that the pumps don't dose the same amounts, but each dose is consistent. Ideas???

I hev been looking at these for a long time but have yetto pull the trigger. Has anyone used the ones on the two part site? I was thinking about that AquaMedic that was posted here a little while ago, but was also turned away by the reviews.

I have one of these and it is easy to set up and runs without much need for attention except to keep the tubing in the solutions.

I had a Masterflex dual-channel peristaltic pump. Search on ebay. Can occasionally find them for a good deal there.

I use a reactor now (which is again leaking from the top ... grrrr) so don't have the doser anymore.
