So vie decided I wanna add kalk to my tank because my tank does great when I use it but don't wanna dose it through my ato to risky I've over kalked tank 2 times that way so basicly I wanna get a close estimate of my evaporate rate and drip that through the kalk
Will a kangaroo medical feed pump be a good pump for this? I was offered a used one for good price

Thanks for help / suggestions
 
I have never used that type of pump before. You can try using an Iv drip set(macro) with a 1000cc Na Ca bag and regulate drips/min.(Drain 9% solution) Thats what i've been using for a while now.
 
Well that's fine but I work and like to go away once in a while! Plus like dripping throughout day keep things super stable!

Anyone use this pump ???
 
I don't think many people have used that pump since brand new you can buy a good 3 pump dosing system. But if you can get it for under what a single brs pump is try it out. It's medical grade so it should be good.
