jestep Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I am planning on ordering another ebay Peristaltic pump for my Mg. These run $30 each and the shipping is $15 for the 1st, $2 for any additional. If anyone needs some dosing pumps and wants to go in on some to save on shipping, let me know.These are the same ones I ordered last time. They can be attached with the included suction cups. I removed the cups and screwed them to the back of my stand. These work great with an Apex controller. Not in a huge hurry but would probably like to order before August.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dosing-pump-Peristaltic-dosing-pump-for-aquarium-DIY-suction-cup-new-design-/161066981143?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2580571717 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Seems like this would be a worthy replacement for my aqualifter as my ATO kalkwasser administering pump. Unfortunately I'm not from Austin so I won't be able to make it to town to pick up for quite a while. Still interested though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 We'll see if anyone else is interested. Last time they took a good 10 days for delivery so probably good to not be in a big hurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Cool well its an excellent deal if you wouldn't mind holding onto it for me till I can make it. Or at least arrange something. Might not make it to Austin till September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I've got another friend here locally that is interested in a pump as well so whenever the time comes ill order two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Great. I'm going to be out of town for the first week in August. Maybe we'll just keep this open until I get back since you don't need yours immediately either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 That sounds good to me. I assume you've used these pumps before? Can you offer any insight as to how they hold up? I'm ordering two but may want more in case I decide to dose two part one day when kalkwasser can't keep up. Do the bulk reef supply replacement hoses work with it in case they wear out? Sorry for the barrage of questions. This kinda seems like a cheap alternative to the expensive dosing pumps, same way the jaebo wave makers are an alternative to the vortechs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 Yeah. I'm using 2 of the same ones from the same seller, just running ~1 minute per day on my Apex. No problems at all, just doing 2 part Alk and Ca, and want to add a 3rd for Mg. I've only had mine for about a year, so I can't really comment on long term reliability, but for 1 year so far no problems. They come with quite a bit of good tubing as well. I think I have at least 5 feet leftover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SChrisEV Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Depending on when you pull the trigger I would probably be interested in two of these. Let me know when you are ready to order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikep123 Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I would like one if there is still time to get in on the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'll be back in Austin on Monday so can finalize and order this coming week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Checking up on this again. Hate to be a pest I know life can get in the way of the forum lol. Already killed one aqualifter pump, and while I'm taking good care of my second one, I still don't trust its longevity and one of these dosers would be awesome to get with reduced shipping. Curious if I should just order one myself? Won't be able to do a group buy myself though, as I'm 2+ hours away and I know everyone wouldn't want to wait on me to make it to town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 Sorry totally dropped the ball on this. If everyone here can confirm how many they want I'll get an order together. If everyone can paypal me it would be easier. I currently only need 1. SChrisEV - 2 possibly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Bio)³ Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 might have to buy some of these for a nano build. If I lived close enough I'll join the GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bpb Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 We still doing this? If not I'm gonna go ahead and just order my own and deal with full shipping. A friend ordered me a wp25 from this same seller and the shipping is expected to take a month. If the same holds true for the dosing pump I'd rather get it in transit sooner than later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I ordered these it took about 12 days to get them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
