Do you think this would work to dose ferts?

Once you go Dutch you can't stop trimming.

No, it states the slowest it runs is 1 gallon per hour. I suspect you'd have an overflowing tank in no time.

Why not get two of these? http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/store/pro ... -pump.html

You need two because you can't mix phosphates in with iron. So one doses NPK+Excel if you add that and the other doses traces+iron.

It's the same thing I built, but for $10.00 more each. Mine are working flawlessly. I'm only upset I didn't spend the money for them much sooner.

Holey moley that thing is huge but I think the one at BRS is better and you can just feed the line right into a bottle of ferts. You should check out Craig's journal http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/tank- ... ost1809293 the photo below is his dosing setup, I'm sure he'll point you in the right direction, btw I love his sump setup.

It's so pretty I went back and got this photo

Thanks guys! I think the link Aaron provided is a much cheaper option than the other.
