So thinking of adding a dosing system to my 150. I don’t really have room for anything else in my stand and was thinking about putting the doser and reservoirs on the other side of an adjacent wall. I already have my ATO set up like this running through the wall. Not sure if this is an option with dosing pumps. Things to take into consideration:
Distance between pumps and sump?
Distance and location between dosing pumps and reservoirs.
Curious how others do this.

What sort of distance are we talking about?

The Kamoer X1 has an optional mount, I used this to mount 4 of them in my cabinet that was already tight with room, they have worked out quite well.
 
So thinking of putting the dosing pump(s) and reservoirs just on the other side of the wall in my utility room. So distance wouldn’t me more than 3-4 ft, but don’t know if the arrangement of the levels of output in sump , height or reservoir(s) , and actual dosing pumps matter.
