In the end I went with a reactor instead of dosing for my tank.

1) I already had it.
2) In order to go the dosing route I would have had to sell the reactor to fund the dosers. I HATE selling things. Not because I'm a pack rat but for the most part I hate dealing with people.

List Price - $400.00
Buyer - will you take $75.00
Me - What?
Buyer - Ok, ok how about $85.00
Me - What?
Buyer - I don't have much money and my dog died, my wife left me and my kid is in jail and I really need to save some money for his bail but I really need a reactor for my tank - Help me out buddy.
Me - What?
Buyer - Ok I'll give you $375.00
Me - Deal
Buyer - I'll pick it up tomorrow
Me - Waits three days
Buyer - Sorry I didn't make it over, my wife came back to me, but then my car broke. I'll be over tonight to pick it up.

*A little Later*

Buyer - I'm here for the reactor.
Me - Here you go - I believe we agreed on $375.00
Buyer - Well I only brought $200.00 - Will you take that?
Me - What?
Buyer - How about I pay the rest next week
Me - What?
Buyer - How about a payment plan?
Me - $375.00 please
Buyer - Wait, I think I have more money in my other pocket. Oh look, I do have $375.00.

So I'm running my tank on a reactor!
