You could probably use an aqualifter or maxijet.
Done that. The water continues to siphon from the reservoir into my tank after the power to the pump has been turned off.
Looking to trying a dosing pump to help alleviate the problem

Very easy, just need to add a siphon break... I use a maxijet and added a T connection.one tube going to your sump the other pointing up at the ceiling and Make sure the tubing going up is higher than the ato tank/reservoir . Alternatively if you use a aqualifter you don't need a siphon break as those will stop when power is cut out but to be safe run the hose higher than the ato res/ tank!

I bought a dosing kit a while back that I have not hooked up yet.
I think 2 pumps. a bunch of additives and a reef keeper lite.
Interested in the whole shebang?

I was using a maxi jet a couple years back but switched over to the aqualifter. I'm also using a solenoid valve with my aqualifter since water continues to be siphoned slowly when powered off. I want to loose the water valve solenoid power adapter......just too many wires.
This is why I'm looking at using a 50ml dosing pump

Thanks but no thanks. I already have an Apex with an Apex doser.

Have you tried this yet? Put a T in line as Chris suggested, but run it back to the ATO above the waterline

You ever solve this issue?
Still using the aqualifter pump.
