Anyone have any creative ideas how I can set up a dosing system with very very minimal space?

this manual dosing isn't working out too well.

If you have access to the IV drip bags (with lines and valves) you could try that.

I use two BRS dosing pumps on my cube. You can buy a variety of containers to store the chemicals. Fish street sells a nifty little space saving dosing container for your alk/cal

I use 2 of these with an apex and small 1gal jugs behind the stand.
I'm quite happy with them so far, it's been a few months and worked with both my reef keeper and apex

You don't say how much space. The containers don't have to be in the aquarium stand. They can be in their own separate cabinet.

I was thinking of a dosing pump that is slightly cheaper than that as mu budget is tight. Something like this..

However, my cabinet is jam packed, and I have a door on either side of my aquarium so there's no where else to put a second cabinet...


I sort of wish my sump wasn't so large!
