Aqua Medic Reef Doser

I have the 2 pump doser and can not get it prime. Has anyone had experience with this doser?

I'll bet you're missing the check valves. If you don't have two the cheap .10 air check valve ones at your local retail pet store work fine. I like putting my check valves after the pump.

I've had great luck with two seperate Aqua Medic dosers. There are things it can and can't do. Don't put your jugs above doser height, it will siphon. At the same time, don't put the jugs more than a couple feet down, they don't like that.

Other than that, change the tubes every year or so and forget the thing is even there.
