Low volume dosing pump

Can anyone recommend a low volume pump to feed a kalkreactor?

A aqualifter might work depending on how much flow you need to the reactor. I use one for my auto top off.

Thanks a LOT guys...that looks exactly like what I need. Right now, I have a t-off from a maxijet with a 1/2 gal/hr drip nozzle attached before the reactor. I dont like this "jerry rigged" setup, and for $11.99, this pump looks like a steal. For some reason I couldnt find something like it on MarineDepot yesterday just by searching. Need the name.

I just picked 2 of them up and paid 11.99 per + 6.96 shipping. Not sure if I'm allowed to post the link, If you want to know where I got them PM me & I'll let you know. Glad to help out, as so many here at RC have helped me & still continue to today.

I ordered one from MarineDepot yesterday, but now I'm thinking that maybe I should have gotten two as well...one for my calcium reactor.

u use an aqualifter for my TO, i see the lwevels low, i filp a switch adn it goes, i let it sit for lie k30 minutes and a gallon is in the tank, slow but good.

i will use it to dose kalk nad phyto asnd other things, i simply keep water in a gallon jug with the tube from the awualifter in it, it pumps up abotu 2 feet, over about 6 inches, so its kinda slow.

but great product!
