Gravity feed dosing

[Reefer911]

Any options for a diy gravity feed single component doser? I’m only dosing KH at the moment and need an option to dose while I’m away for a few days. Alternatively, I could add KH buffer to the ATO but I’d rather not do that if I don’t have to

Do you have a neighbor you can trust to follow dosing instructions?

I’ve used the Medical IV drips, the Drip window inlet fits perfectly over Air Line Tubing. I use a Graduate Cylinder to figure out and adjust the drip rate. Do you have someway of keeping it stirred and in suspension? Independent Medical Supplies may have them, just leave the needle with them.

No, my LFS might be able to help out but for what they’ll charge, I could probably buy a dosing pump.

I work in medical and have been trying to figure out how to incorporate IV tubing and adjust the flow rate with that

I have several sizes and duplicates of the Graduated Cylinders. They are mostly used for dosing. Marked the sides with various tank volumes, using Fine tip paint markers, for dosing amount. Couple of other things I use, from the Medical Field, are the Triangular Measuring Cups, These Precision Droppers, Pro-Dental Picks, Short and Long Hemostat Clamps, and the Spring CPAP Brush Set. Also I don’t know what I’d do without the Philips Avent Baby Bottle Brush.
