DIY Dosing Container $10

R_C · Apr 7, 2016

While searching for a dosing container online, I noticed that they are quite a bit of money and me being me I sure was not having it. Since I started dosing last week I needed to come up with an inexpensive way to make the container(s) and be some what space saving, hold enough that I didn't have to refill every other day, easy to refill, easy to remove when I have to access my reactors and most of all that it did not look like an amateur made it

Here is what I came up with:
14 cup container
RODI 1/4 inch quick disconnect fitting
Plastic cup straw
Total cost about $10 each and less than 20 minutes to make 3

Great job! Blows my mind how people will pay almost 100 bucks and up for containers. Will defiantly be stealing this, great work!

I just turned 2 glass Voss water bottles into dosing containers. 800ml and $2.50 each at the super market.

Looks great. So simple, yet so genius.
Be careful if Trigger Systems see it they will
Paint it emerald green and sell it for $1000
each. Lol

They are reusable plastic straws. You can get them on ebay, amazon, etc.
