Two 12v drive ports, like the normal doser that hydros sells.
. I run them off two drive ports on my Kraken. They work very well!
3d printed on a carbon fiber like build plate gives that awesome look.These look better than any of the hydros stuff. I’m also a glutton for carbon fiber
It came out awesome. Great job!3d printed on a carbon fiber like build plate gives that awesome look.These look better than any of the hydros stuff. I’m also a glutton for carbon fiber
I wanted something slimmer yet repairable if something were to go out on the pumps
Thank you! If I can figure out how to make the wiring nice and pretty I may end up selling these.It came out awesome. Great job!3d printed on a carbon fiber like build plate gives that awesome look.These look better than any of the hydros stuff. I’m also a glutton for carbon fiber

That would be awesome! Would you have hydros control it or going a different direction?
Hydros would control it more than likely. Currently I have a 5 head Jebao dosing pump and I dose 3 part and then the other two heads I have one dosing phyto and the other one sucking out the same amount of tank water so salinity stays consistent as I dose a lot of phyto.
Nice! If I could figure out how we can trigger dosers off the 0-10v I’ll be cookin
There are currently only 2 controllers with 0-10v outputs those are the X4 and WEv2. All the others that have 0-10v are inputs and not outputs. So unless you have a X4 or a WEv2 with 0-10v outputs that are not in use then 0-10v would not work. Also the 0-10v is a voltage reference and not meant to drive any kind of load. So you would have to create some kind of controller to drive the pumps that have a 0-10v control input.
I wouldn't think it would be worthwhile to try and trigger it through 0-10V and plan to just do simple timing schedule and have the various pumps go off in a specific order for a specific amount of time.
If you want some really high precision dosing pumps, this place sells some really nice ones that you can configure the tubing size/gear ratio to get REALLY precise dosing amounts, down to 0.27ml/min. I recommend these for reagent pumps for those who want to use the iV but not buy a X10.

They also make a 0-5V controlled pump unit (option 1 here) https://simplypumps.com/product/gbx-peristaltic-pump-systems/If you want some really high precision dosing pumps, this place sells some really nice ones that you can configure the tubing size/gear ratio to get REALLY precise dosing amounts, down to 0.27ml/min.

PM100 12 Volt Peristaltic Pump Tygon Food & Beverage Tube - Miniature, low flow peristaltic pump solutions. Accurate dosing, dispensing, and metering.
Just be aware that voltage or pwm control of a DC doser can be inconsistent at lower voltages. If precision and consistency is key in the application, gear reduction of a doser while being driven at full voltage is always prefered.Those are sweet, but I got an 8 pack of the Kamoer pumps for half the cost of one of those pumps. You can slow them down using the drive voltage to tune the flow rate. At the 3.3v I'm giving them, they'll do 3.1ml/min or, in Hydros terms (2.5 second minimum on/off time), they can be dialed down to a .13ml minimum dose.
If I need smaller doses than that, I'll do it by hand and/or re-evaluate whether I really need it or not.
