Looking for a dosing pump and want to know what works for you, why you use it, and what you suggest. I am sure this will help a lot of people down the road.
 
I use a 50ml/minute BRS doser for my Kalk because it is very consistent and no risk of siphon.

I use 1.1ml/minute BRS dosers for vinegar and two part for the same reasons above.

I use these because they work, lower cost, and I can control them easily with APEX. Save $$$$ vs buying a doser system because I already have the APEX and it can be programmed to do anything I like. They also work well with these compact containers that fit anywhere and hold 1+gallons.

I use Jebao, cant beat the price and you can buy 2-3 for the price of most other dosers on the market and keep one as a backup. They keep my parameters stable on a 8ft frag tank, 6 ft 210 display and 2ft cube 60 cube and are easy to program.
 
Bubble magus 8yrs strong. Just replace the tubing every now and then you're good.
 
I use a kamora and have had it for almost 2 years with no issues. I checked calibration on it a month ago and it's still spot on
 
I use the plum xl-3.. I little unconventional but I like the fact that if there are any problems it will not dump all my alkalinity or calcium into the tank.
$99 on eBay is a steal. Some people get lucky and get them in great working order. I never had much luck buying used equipment on eBay. I had it rebuilt by a medical supply company.

I also have a drews doser in the background I use for stuff that needs to be dosed in spurts. The plum is a continuous drip drip all day.
