I have used dosing pumps do dose, and would recommend sticking with the method you are using. They can be finicky long term, and replacing tubing is annoying and expensive.
Also, calcium reactors require no fiddling around at all if you buy the right one. I have adjusted mine at least 3 or 4 times in the last 5 years...they provide great stability for Ca and DKH.

And that is at a drip rate of 1 Drip every 4 Seconds. or a 1:4 ratio. I want to try the Dosing pump thingy but I thought about if I buy the Salts from Progressive Reefs and just manually pour the stuff in every day. at the required amount of elements that the tank uses per day.
Or get a dosing pump and do it that way a little more money up front
Proflux Dosing way
Old school way with the 2 part.
I don't want to go the CAL Reactor way to much fiddling around. my tank is looking to good and I don't want to have a alk Spike like the last time and loose all my SPS.
