1/4" Push Connect Bulkhead Tank Adapter
The ¼" push connect bulkhead tank adapter is a great solution for connecting ro tubing through hard-walled barriers, such as sump walls or container lids/caps. These come with a plastic nut to secure the bulkhead to the container wall, but do not have a gasket. These are designed for above-water...

1/4" Clear Acrylic Tube -16" Long
Why does BRS recommend this? Acrylic tubes have many different purposes. Using these for DIY projects like kalkwasser drippers, feeding tubes and they even can be used to help add support small aquascapes, it is always a good idea to have extra acrylic tubing on hand. 16" of clear acrylic tube...

Nah that extremely expensive for something I can make for under 30Octo Aquatics sells a kit with everything but the bottle!

2 tips for this...
#1 - when you drill the hole you want it a little off center so you can add a breather hole next to the fitting. This will stop the creation of a vacuum which could affect the pumps ability to pull fluid.
#2 - check your Kamoer pump tubing size. Some, like the X1, use a very small diameter tube. Coralvue sells the little adapters but was out of stock when I last looked. I was able to find 1/8" to 1/4" barbed fittings at a marine supply store in my town.

That description is hilarious. Don't want to spend a fortune on dosing containers? Here, spend a fortune on dosing container holders instead and assemble one yourself. Warning, not everything included.Octo Aquatics sells a kit with everything but the bottle!

Are the proper containers even any more expensive than that?

Definitely for just the tubing and bulkheads... didn’t know if the mount/holder would be of interest too. It makes it nice if you don’t have another idea or option for supporting the bottles already.
How do you plan to mount the bottles? Always interested in other DIY projects and ideas!

The Voss bottles are the item not included.
And your right about the cost compared to other dosing containers out there. It hard to beat the 3 section reservoir for 55 bucks on Amazon.
