What's your favorite dosing pump?

I'm thinking about setting up a top-off for my tank. I'm getting tired of pouring in the amount of water daily that I have to since upgrading to MH.

What's your dosing pump of choice?

Litermeter?
Aquatune?
Reeffiller?

Something else I haven't heard of?

Rob,

Since you must adjust ALL THREE of these constantly as your evaporation changes here is an alternate.

I use a booster/delivery pump that is designed to use with RO system with a pressure switch attached. I use standard size RO tubing to run into a Spectrapure float switch that is designed for this size tubing. All I need to make/build was a bracket for the float since I have a glass tank and did not feel like shutting it down to drill.

Bonas: If you have several tanks all you need is additional $12 float valves and more tubing for HD. You can run quite a few tanks off one setup.

Pump: http://www.spectrapure.com/kits_p3.htm#pressure ~$200
Float: http://www.spectrapure.com/alc_p4.htm#options ~$12
