It is so crowded the pics wouldn't do you any good. LOL. But I followed Bill directions and withe the exception of the type of valve it works great.

I am sure you guys have seen this guys but Central Coast reefkeeper's has a youtube video of his 2 part system. Seems simple enough i was thinking of doing this. Thoughts?

Who did finally end up with the patent? I think expensive dosers are decreasing they're sales

Not really sure why but I can't seem to get this to work right. I continually have air bubbles in my lines and keep getting leaks. Is there a certain type of tubing i should be using? Some of my tubing is pretty rigid but some is flimsy, does it matter if i use 2 different types of tubing. This should be pretty straight forward but I can't get a consistent drip at all. Probably due to the air bubbles but I can't seem to get them out. Is there a certain brand of valve i should be using? My pressure relief line uses "t" valves instead of the "y" shaped, does that matter? I couldn't find the "y" shaped.

Back from the grave!

Is anyone still using this as a reliable dosing pump? I was wondering how this would hold up over time?
