    So i am getting rather tired of dosing my tank every two to three days so I am in the market for a dosing pump. I use the two part B-Ionic Calcium Buffer System and am just wondering what peoples thoughts are on which pump I should get?
    I am looking at the BRS pump, any other options?

    I use two BRS dosing pumps and forget that I even dose lol. They work great and are pretty quiet, highly recommend. You can run them using an aqua controller or a cheap $5 dollar timer.

    If money were no object I would look at Vertex Libra to get the .5 mL dosing.

    That said, I love my Bubble Magus.

    I use the profilux dosing pump. They make a stand alone doser, But I have also heard good things about the Vertex and BRS units.

    I run bulk CA from a local chemical company and A&H baking soda for Alk
