Dosing pump for Randy's Supplements

I want to start using Randy's 2 part solution. What would be the best type of dosing pump to use. Let me know your suggestions.

Thanks in advance

Rick

-litremeter 3 is a good one, but man is it expensive.
-aquamedic reefoser is another one. It has some flaws I have heard.
Also, you can purchase indurstrial pumps on ebay but I leaned away from that because I did not feel knowledgable enough to invest money in them and get them working.

Good luck. I will be tagging along to see what you decide.

i have used the litermeter, an aquamedic doser, a medical pump, and the litermeter is by far the best. it will run you $430 total, but if you have the cash, a litermeter 3 with an extra dosing pump is the top of the line. they work great, are quiet, and much more reliable than the aquamedic

I use a medical dosing pump and am very happy with its reliability and ease of use

what medical dosing pump do you use? where could I get one?

I just can't spend $430 on a litermeter

Now this will control the dosage for both part A and B?
