$100 to replace my doser pump, for $10 to replace my ATO pump.. hmm.. :biggrin:

for those of you with tanks close to your mini bar maybe throw some phyto on a magnetic stirrer (or other liquid foods) in the fridge. Then drill a hole into the mini fridge for the feed line to the dosing pump (use a bulk head so you can replace the lines if ever needed). Have the output line dump into your tank or sump and you've totally automated your feeding as well!

FWIW you can get a really cheap mini fridge for like $69.99 when all the back to school sales start. I built my stand big enough to house that sucker when the tank finally gets setup :cry:

I use my 4 pump Profilux for Ca, Mg, Vodka, Vinegar.
I use my Kalk stirrer supplied with a $35 ATO switch for Alk and for evaporation compensation I use another $35 ATO switch with a reservoir tank off my RO unit controlled by a level sensor.
I used to have an Aquamedic dosing pump setup, but with only 2 rollers, it soon became useless, even after changing the hoses.
I don't have any of the dosing pipes submerged and haven't had a problem with clogging.
I had my kalk tube submerged and had constant clogging problems.
Unsubmerged all the way!

Phi delt,

Great idea for the mini bar set-up!
Where do you get a magnetic stirrer?
