Thanks Myka! I'm not surprised at the lack of instructions given the amount of information I've found so far on this product. Anyway, it won't fit in my stand, though I suppose I could put it somewhere nearby.

Does anyone know of other cheap IV-drip type dosing/topoff systems? Something I can connect to my own container would be ideal.

Regards,
Nevin

Any plastic jug, a threaded in GC fitting, little tubing and a valve to control drip rate.

If for ATO add a float valve.

Can't beat Home Depot or Rona.

Default Drip top-off

Mark, what is a GC fitting? Does the following look like the type of valve you had in mind (I need a slow drip, not a trickle)?

Many thanks! I knew there had to be an easy way to do this!

Sorry, meant JG (John Guest) not sure what happened to my fingers.

What I'm meaning is you can try something like I'm using for my reactor. It's the small line that comes off the 45, the first piece is threaded in, then the valve. You can use the valve you posted just pushed into the tubing. The valve I've shown isn't used to control the reactor, but for disconnecting, though a have the same valve just above the reactor that I use to set the drip rate. Take a look in HD as the place is good for ideas.

I see often called JG so started calling them JG myself as lot of people recognize the name. The ones carried by HD are made by by another company.
