I picked up this little pump a couple weeks ago as I was getting sick and tired of running down every evening and filling the tank.

Nice size, approx 5"H x 3"L x 6"depth, very quite, very easy to set up.  Comes with some tubing I think 10ft or so of airline like tubing (output) and 5ft or so of a more ridgid tubing (input side)  Does require a timer. Cost $100

I have mine set up to go 5 times a day for about 30min each time and it's been pretty flawless.  The hardest part seems to be determining exactly how much time you need.  For me this tends to vary a bit but that isn't the pumps fault.

Now, to find a large enough bucket so I can leave it for a week and not worry!!

I've been looking at the BRS dosing pumps for a while now for my 2 part dosing...  I've heard alot of good reviews, now that I see someone local has one, I may think more about it!!

What kind of timer do you have running it?

For containers, I just got a heavy duty rubbermaid tote, it holds (safely) about 15 gallons...

I failed to mention it also comes with a nice wall mount piece the slides into the back of the unit.  2 screws into the wall and done!

I'm using the Hamilton digital timer (single plug version).  I have 3 of these timers (2 are dual plug) and haven't had a single problem (knock on wood!!).  Nice units with battery back-up so no resetting if you unplug them or power goes out!  You can program 7 different on/off times, and a couple different day settings (everyday, just weekday ect.)

The larger bucket is primarily laziness in picking one up on my part.  However, where do you get yours?  Ideally I need a 21G bucket to get me 7 days.

Ditto on the dosing pumps.  I figured I'd give this a try first as I think with a little bucket it would do the least damage if things went wrong.  Might pick up the dosers soon.
