Hello everyone!
I’m curious if anyone knows of a way to install a dosing pump that isn’t visible for an AIO tank. Since I don’t have the option to dose into a sump under the cabinet, I’m wondering if anyone has any ideas to keep a pump out of view but still efficient for the corals. Could I potentially keep the pump under the cabinet and dose up to the tank’s surface?

Thank you!

Absolutely put it under the stand next to your water container. Zero problem with that. Peristaltic pumps can handle large vertical rises much better than propeller type pumps, so pretty much any dosing pump you choose should be up to the task.
