I have for sale a used dosing setup.

Setup included Reefdosingpump.com Nautilis II and 3 compartment storage tank.

More info on the pump can be found here: http://www.reefdosingpumps.com/nautilis.html

Pump also included cord to allow you to hook it up to a timer or controller.

Storage tank measures 18"Lx6.5"Wx10"H divided into 3 equal holding chambers each holding approximately 1.5G per chamber. It is made out of 3/8" glass so its built like a brick!

Thanks for looking!

does that pump only handle one liquid at a time?

It does 2 liquids simultaneously so you can still use it for you Ca and KH. There are two separate fine hoses on the pump.

I don't see why not. Depends on the consistency though.

If you need to shake the bottle before feeding you will need to put a bit more effort in. I did this for a while and ran a small circ pump in my food chamber (ReefSnow) for a few minutes before the dosing pump turned on. Circ pump was on a timer... if you leave it on all day it can heat the food up too much. Also, I needed to run a short line from the chamber to the tank as the food settled in the hose. Overall, I didn't like it for foods that require shaking, but for others dosers are great.

Thanks for the info!

My intention is to provide a steady food system for my filter feeders, i currently have a fauna marlin food recipe blend that is working really well! and I would like to have it streamed in steady.
