    Hold your horses guys. No dosing pump that I know of dose straight up and into the tank. You need to place the dosing pump above your tank. The aqualifter can be placed slightly below the water level of the tank but any lower and you have problem. Do not let the dosing hose in the water or it may siphon water into the fert solution.
    If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
    Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.
    Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.

    Get a spare or 2 of the Aqualifter. The rubber thingy that pump liquid will wear out. The volume of liquid might be different in volume as when you have a brand new set.

    I have made auto dozer like in this page . This dozer has three channels, main parts are peristaltic pumps and microcontroller. I have this dozer about one year and everything works fine.

    I'm thinking of using an IV Drips setup to dose my tank. Anyone ever tried that before? Seems feasible provided I can buy such drip bag and valve off the shelf at leading pharmacies here.

    Should consider it to dose for 24 hours, so during lights out nutrients should be accumulating since unuse by plants.
