So my build plan is forming along quite nicely and I am at the point of choosing a dosing pump for my autofeeder. I am going to be feeding from the reef nutrition line, to include their Mysis Shrimp. I know people have been successfully using the Bubble Magnus for this purpose but the connectors that hook up the two different tubings seem much smaller in interior diameter than the bubble Magnus line. Now for my questions
1. Can these connectors be swapped out with ones of larger interior diameter?
2. Can I forgo the two piece tubing and just use one continuous piece of tubing? Is there something special about that small section?
3. Can I swap out the tubing to one continuous with a larger interior diameter? I know this would make the tubing wall thinner so how will that affect the system?
 
Here is a link to the doser itself. For anyone else interested the reason I choose this one over the bubble magus is for a few reasons.
1. Each line gets individually calibrated with the fluid you are dosing. Different consistency will dose at different rates so if you calibrate with what you are dosing you can more accurately control the dose.
2. You can create a different dosing profile for each day of the week.
3. You can dose as low as .1 ml. This falls far below the typical 1ml dosing rates
