Looking for a powder dispenser

[RajV]

Can someone point to ideas or products that will be able to deliver a precise measure if powder into my tank ?

I see dosers for liquid , looking for something that can deal with powder.

Thanks

IDK?

Could the measured powder be compressed into pill form and dispensed with an auto feeder like the fishmate 14? Not sure what it is you are looking to do but this is what came to mind. Might not dissolve fast enough for what you have in mind.

Curious... what is the powder that you are trying to dose?

Great idea but i cant make a pill . Im using BioCalcium from tropic marin . I have to leave town for a few weeks. I dose a scoop daily . It is sprinkled in the high flow area in my fuge

Cant you dilute it into ato water . or use a Liquid dosing pump. Since powder will compact and clump especially Calcium turning it to a Liquid would be your best bet ...

What about mixing it with a precise ratio of ro/di and running a dosing pump while your away. As long as it dissolves completely and you know the ratio of powder to water you would know how much liquid to dose per day to get the right dose. And maybe it won't work but it's my last shot at it.

Thanks. Unfortunately it has to be mixed to salt water . Trying to convert it to a liquid will make it clump up . Im a bit away from venturing into dosing like a 2 part ir kalwaser or getting a calcium reactor. Its just 6 months old and still trying to understand the science. Here is an evening picture

I would measure it myself and use something like this

It allows you to put what you need in 14 separate chambers and you have it dispense between 1 and 4 times a day. Works great for pellet and flake. Not sure how powder would do.
