Have a 40gal breeder mixed reef. Been dosing BRS 2 part and magnesium by hand for a while. Looking to automate things a little. Don't have a controller like Aepx,etc. Can a dosing pump be used under the stand and pumped up into the main display? Obviously I'd set the dose tubes above the water level in a high flow area, like in front of a vortech pump. Would I need to use check valves? Can the doser pump the solutions up that high (approx 48") without having any problems or losing ml accuracy? Looking at the coralbox wifi doser.
