Stenner dual head pump also an option. That is what I plan to use anyway.

Apex will coming out with flow meters soon so your diy options using those could potentially be endless.

I use a dual head Reef Filler pump on a timer to change 1% daily. :)

I've seen a few comments on the Neptune forums about them. They haven't been released yet but I would guess sometime around the next macna they will be out. From what I understand the module it will work with is already available you will just need to purchase the sensors once released.

I have an apex eb8 running the stenner and the pumps I use to mix, and plan to do like Randy and change about 1% daily. I did find with the stenner that the pickup has to be close to the same height to get the same through both heads. I am setup also so I can do large water changes by just pumping water through a 1/2" hose. I ran the plumbing and apex cable through PVC pipe in attic. The easier it is to care for reef the more likely we are to do it. LOL
