Dosing pumps clog up from participate all the time, it really doesn't take much. Even if you get participate I don't think a standard centrifugal pump will have any issues. Another idea is to eliminate the pump in the saturated tank and add an overflow from the saturated tank to the saltwater tank. To add saturated solution to the SW tank you pump water from the RO to the saturated which in turn overflows into the SW tank. Use a small power head in the saturated tank to keep things moving. Similar to what posted before except the sump is another holding tank for additional mixing prior to being moved into the aquarium, personally I still don't see the need for the extra step but these types of systems have to make sense to the owner more than anyone else.
