What dosing pump to use

[wasabi bean]

So i am finding that my carbonate hardness drops and isn’t all replaced by my water changes, so i want to start dosing kalk, was wondering what cheaper dosing pumps are reliable that you guys all use, thanks

For kalk I found a brs 50ml minute dosing pump on a digital timer was bullet proof. The 1ml a minute pump will work fine also but didn't deliver enough for my purpose.
I don't think any typical programmable dosing pump will hold up well dosing kalk.

The timer is can be programed by the second.

I have used jebao in the past cheap simple to use and somewhat reliable I recalibrated mine about every 3 months https://a.co/d/2BduDJ5

What are you planning to dose to raise your parameters?

All my other parameters are really stable so probably kalkwasser just to increase carbonate in the water as recently some if my sps are sulking so i am going to try increase it and see if that helps

I’ve personally found kalk to be a great start to dosing and have done it in the beginning on a DIY dripper just still keep a eye on magnesium
