Anybody have a good substitute for the Reef-filler doser?

[NAGA]

I am looking to replace one of those dual channel reef filler pumps that you get from Champion Lighting. Does anyone have any experience with a better quality unit. I'd imagine there is some dual channel peristaltic pump that works. Suggestions?

 

I need something that can pump about 25 feet away from the tank. Somebody a while back said that the Spectrapure liter meter can be set up for auto water changes......true?

No experience with this one, Jeff, but saw it today on RC:

It's supposedly the OEM guts (or similar the the guts) of the peristaltic pumps sold on BulkReefSupply.

Not a dual setup, though. Not sure if this is absolutely critical or not.

thanks for that link. To show you what I have http://www.championlighting.com/product.ph...=386&page=1 and although it's a dual channel unit what I can replace it with does not have to be dual channel. What is important is that whatever is used it can pump 25 ft. away. Something in the neighborhood of 2 gpd is all it would need to be able to do.

 

 

The problem with the reeffiller is that it is noisey and if any part of the motor breaks the whole unit is trashed as you cannot order the various motor or gear housing parts separately. You can only get the plastic parts on the rotating part replaced.

The Spectrapure Litermeter III can handle your needs. From the Spectrapure web site: "The pump's planetary direct drive is at an 11:1 ratio, thus providing enough torque to generate over 40 pounds of pressure. This incredible lift enables the LiterMeter III
