I don't know the limits of draw up and/ or push up on that pariulalr equiment. Is there a link to the manufacturer's specs?

I plan to have my dose about 16'' below sump and the Vertex Vessels stacked to the side(approx. 18" away).
http://www.bubble-magus.com/en/productShow.asp?id=970 Checked their site but I didn't find anything about head pressure or the pump ability....

Peristaltic pumps are supposed to be better on average with the input side at a higher level, but for small differences, I don't think it matters much. I ran mine (Master-Flex) a bit below the reservoir level, and didn't have any problems.

Thats a nice feature of Peristaltic pump, you don't have to be too concerned with a siphon effect draining all of your dosing fluid into your sump.
