Dosing pump
 

Looking for recommendations on a good dosing pump setup. I’m waiting to dose calcium, alk, and magnesium. I don’t have any type of controller so a programmable setup would be preferable.

People have reported good luck with a lot of pumps, including the BRS pumps. I have used MasterFlex pumps, but I got them secondhand through another reefer. They are expensive when new.

I use BRS and a dual outlet timer. Timer isn't as convenient as a controller but it's several hundred dollars less expensive and is reliable.

The new echotech versa is looking to be the bee’s knees.

Do you know your daily usage of Alk, Mag and Ca?

I've been using an Aqua Medic 4 EVO for about a year now and it's been reliable. Has its own programmable controller and 4 pumps. The only potential drawback, especially on a small tank, is it only goes down to the milliliter (ml) level. If you need fractions of ml then you probably need to look elsewhere.

Second this.
i will say DONT get a smart timer. I have been screwed a couple times by this. It sounds nice to buy a 30$ timer with wifi and you can schedule "to the min" dosing times.

If had it fail many times in the on position (firmware updates, power surge...ect)
