I can't single out a dosing pump that has a reverse functionality and was wondering if anyone could list a few. Size doesn't really matter as long as it can be automated to pull fluid back into the reservoir after pushing it into the aquarium. The idea is that you can auto dose refrigerated foods and it won't be left to thaw and degrade in the tubes.
 
Does such a thing exist?

I know some people have made storage fridges to sit the container in so the food doesn’t go off, and there are magnetic stirrers that can stir the container before the doser triggers so the food doesn’t all settle at the bottom of the container.
 
Neptune DOS can run in reverse. You’d just have to set up the programming in the Apex controller to do what you want.
