Can anyone recommend a dosing system that would be adequate for a tank under 50 gallons? I’m looking for something that won’t break the bank but is also system and easy to use. I don’t need something special or name brand but there are so many options and don’t want to waste money on something that will fail within 3 years. Needing something super slim to fit into a small groove under sump.
 
It depends on what you're looking to dose for. Is this is a SPS heavy tank or mixed reef? All For Reef is pretty simple and easy to use.
 
On my 40 gallon I dose all for reef only, I have a kamoer doser that has worked perfectly for about 6 years
 
Are you asking about what to dose or looking for equipment to use for dosing?
For what to dose I like AFR for ease of use and it's perfectly fine dosed manually on many tanks. There are many other choices but I find AFR the simplest.
As far as equipment the list is long from individual dosing pumps to multi head pumps up to full blown controllers.

I agree. Great place to start. Once you get to sps dominate, AFR will not be able to keep up.
 
Depends what your doing. Some people on YouTube make there own, which is dirt cheap, but hard to dose traces.
Brs have a price break down somewhere, ATI essentials plus was the best for me in terms of price and quality.
