Do you carry the Aqua Medic SP 3000 dosing pump? How much? Thanks.

What are you using it for? Topoff, chemical addition, calcium reactor? I'm using the tunze osmolator mostly for topoff now, and small powerheads for reactor input.. I haven't tried them all, but I've not been happy in general with medical dosing pumps and the sp3000.

I was planning for top off from a kalk resorvoir and the reef fannatic dual float switches. Any expirience with the vario's? Why dont you like the SP 3000's? I would love a tunze, but I have no space for it.

Never used a vario.

The sp3000's I used/sold either the motor broke, or the tubing cracked prematurely causing a leak that would then short the motor. I never had any that made it a year.

Hey, are you gonna start in house CRA brand Kalk reactors like your skimmers?

Possibly if there was enough demand.. I prefer the tunze one tho.. no pump to break, the topoff pump agitates the kalk well, and it's less than half the price of a regular reactor.
