Individual dosing pumps or multi pump unit like Bubble Magus?
Which do you prefer?

I use a GHL four pump doser. I use three of them for Ca, alk, Mg. Control mechanism applies to all but with singles the control mechanism would be replicated and paid for.

I use the same pump as snorvich. It takes up alot less room than 4 separate pumps and only one outlet. Also, you can have the pump automatically schedule dosing times and it will make sure they don't overlap.

I like having things separated...makes repairs/replacements less costly. Having said that, I would think a bigger factor would be whether or not you have a separate controller. If you do, you would probably want to use separate pumps without a controller. If you don't - you'd probably want to use an integrated unit with a controller.

If you got a controller just go with individual dosers, that way everything is controlled from one central unit.

Were i to do it again, I would get an all in one unit. As far as pump repair, the pumps themselves are replaceable.
