DIY Dosing Container $10

[R_C]

While searching for a dosing container online, I noticed that they are quite a bit of money and me being me I sure was not having it. Since I started dosing last week I needed to come up with an inexpensive way to make the container(s) and be some what space saving, hold enough that I didn't have to refill every other day, easy to refill, easy to remove when I have to access my reactors and most of all that it did not look like an amateur made it :D

Here is what I came up with:
14 cup container
RODI 1/4 inch quick disconnect fitting
Plastic cup straw
Total cost about $10 each and less than 20 minutes to make 3 :cool:

Great job! Blows my mind how people will pay almost 100 bucks and up for containers. Will defiantly be stealing this, great work!

I just turned 2 glass Voss water bottles into dosing containers. 800ml and $2.50 each at the super market.

That's a kids straw for a kid cup.? Where did you find them?

Looks great. So simple, yet so genius.
Be careful if Trigger Systems see it they will
Paint it emerald green and sell it for $1000
each. Lol

They are reusable plastic straws. You can get them on ebay, amazon, etc.

Is it just a simple drip system?

No, they are connected to a dosing pump.
