Dosing pump setup question
Probably a stupid question, but can a dosing pump push the solutions up? or is everything gravity fed?
I just got one, but I've never owned one before. |

If it's a peristaltic pump then yes they almost all have great head ratings

yes it will easily "pull" liquid from the container and can "push" it uphill quite a bit.

Hello,
I have also been brainstorming the setup of a dosing pump. Will a dosing pump be able to deliver a few millimeters of supplements effectively to my tank if its located beneath in the display cabinet? If I do not have a sump setup. what would be the recommended way to setup a dosing pump system? Do you know where I could find some links/ideas on how to locate my pumps in the best possible location? .... P.S I currently do not own a pump but looking at purchasing a Marine Magic triple....know if its any good? am also thinking about the jebao. |
