Cheap solution for dosing flow in sump found

[KenRexford]

Nice little solution. I installed a Hydor Koralia Nano (240gph) for about $28 pointed right where the dosing lines dump into the sump. Just enough flow to avert precipitation (dosing pump timing conveniently kicked on the soda ash right adter my install) but not too much to stir up that part on the sump. And, probably the cheapest fix ever on my tank! Thought I'd share because a week ago I was looking for ideas and did not see this precise solution. Coincidentally got the same pump for my 8-yr-old daughter's 20g freshwater hex tank (perfect for low-tank flow) and eureka!

A little flow in a refugium or sump is a good thing.

Good call! I definitely agree that having light grade powerheads in a sump is a great idea.

If possible... dose near or in the area your plumbing meets your sump....

I dose into the first section of my bubble trap before the return. All the flow from the sump goes over that and has plenty of flow to mix.

I have small powerhead in my sump too.
