I have an AIO aquarium and I want to dose All for reef by tropic Marin. Only issue I see is the power of the doser to bring the fluid from floor level- to the top of the tank into the return chamber. Any insight?
Any recommendations for a doser?

I was so close to buying one today haha. Just not sure on the height either

The height has never been a problem in my AIO tank using Koemer dosing pumps.

I have 2 Red Sea ReefDose's . The work great and the phone app is awesome. They don't seem to advertise head room. Mine just dose to the sump and the lines just run along the bottom of the aquarium so maybe 2 feet high. They just move liquid 1 drop at a time so I don't think 4 or 5 feet would be an issue.

I use several different dosing pumps including some of the kamoer x1 pumps, and for the price they’re hard to beat IMO.
I can’t imagine any pump would struggle to go from the ground up and into the tank. According to BRS the Kamoer x1 has a head height of 10-15ft.

kameor are great, recently I've used Reef Factory and they are as great and quiet,
for my first 5 years I used a $75 special from eBay and that worked as well.
really, the dosing part is easy, it's the add on bits like remote access that set the pumps apart,
most times you just need accuracy to 1ml and any doser can do that.

I have 2 Kamoer X1 Pro 2 dosing All 4 Reef and Kalkwasser solution (will soon upgrade to Avast Kalk Stirrer with Kamoer FX-STP).
Anyhow, I am very happy with the little X1 Pro 2. The key with any dosing pump is to keep the Input side as short as possible to help with the precision of the dosage.

The "Hand" made by H. sapiens
It's pretty reliable. Only lasts roughly 70-80 something years in good health but it's overall pretty reliable. It's very hands on which may not be to your liking

What would one do when "Hands" has to go on vacation or business trip?

I have a brs single head doser, pumps from basement to tank sump, 4 to 5 feet.

Again it's one of the downsides haha
In all seriousness though I know the kamoer is pretty popular. It seems to be the default recommendation here. I've also heard good things about bubble magus.

Do you have room to make a bracket that holds the AFR and pumps hugher?
