    You have a dosing pump correct? How do you have it set up? I am thinking about putting a dosing system on my nano cube but will dosing pumps pump up?

    What I'm saying is I don't have a sump so If I mount my dosing pump and containers in my stand will it be able to pump the fluid up to my tank?

    Yes

    The pumps I'm using don't have their own controller, so I run them off my Reef Keeper Lite.

    They definitely will. My pumps are mounted in the bottom of my stand next to their reservoirs and they've been working like clockwork for years.

    Always happy to help where I can. Dosing pumps are definitely a game changer. This tank heals coral faster than any I've seen, so it gets a lot of use these days as a rehab box. I really think the extra stability afforded by the dosing system plays a big part in this.

    Thank you!

    I finally got my MP10 running on this tank again thanks to a donated wet/side from a friend. I completely forgot how incredible the flow pattern is from that little monster!
