cheapest dosing pump

I am looking for a paristaltic dosing pump that I could control PH using Kalkwasser as top off with a neptune III or reefkeeper elite (still kicking that decision around).

I ran into a cheap stand alone peristaltic dosing pump for 59.99. Now I cannot find it anywhere, so frustrated. I thought it was called tom's, but all that comes up when searching tom's is the aqualifter. I understand the aqualifter could work for this situation, but I want a peristaltic for this application.

I want one that I can simply plug into my reef controller outlet and program it to be activated\deactivated when PH is within a predetermined range.

Anyone know of cheap stand alone peristaltic dosing pumps?

Two part solutions has a couple. Apt has a couple cheap ones and omega has some good ones but are a little more expensive.

By stand alone, what do you mean? (since you say to be used with a controller)

I use a aquamedic 3000 single channel for kalk. It's hooked up to a AC Jr. I just averaged out how much water evaporates on my tank per day, and set the controller to turn on the pump for X minutes per hour. Works well.

yeah, I use an aquamedic for two part. I just need one that activates when plugged in.

That twopartsolutions.com has what I was looking for. I kept thinking tom's, but it was really Drew's.

Thanks!
