    I don't see why this doesn't work. If you have your drops per minute figured out, this would work just as good as the jugs/pump/hose valve configuration. Just make sure you keep drops under check.

    I'm also trying to figure out a way to automate my dosing. I may build something this week or this weekend.

    Put some pics up! Pic police is slacking off :)

    Yeah, he's saying it's "simple and effective, no doubt". He takes some translating sometimes ::)

    This is actually the way I've been dosing lately, just with a plastic cup instead of the fancy-schmancy glass you've got.

    I use a small variation from that theme, ... a small plastic container with the hose tightly fit in the bottom if it so I don't have to get the siphon started every time... pour in what you want and let it drip...
