We bought a float switch for the sump of the 125g to make an ATO and so I was shopping around for a dosing pump and found this one

Any one have opinion on that one?

I'm sure that will work fine for you. I use one on my overflow to remove the air out. Haven't had no problems with it. A good monthly cleaning will help alot with it's performance.

Cool...thanks. So you only used yours for air? Hopefully it can handle the on/off it will be doing to top off the sump.

Well it pumps more water than air. That's what you want it to do in that application. I use a small fountain pump with my ATO in my holding tank to the display tank. That works out good also

Have you had to change the diaphragm on it? It suggests changing it every few months or something?

 

[Reefrookie]

Not yet. It's been running in my overflow for about 7 months. I think the cleaning with regular H20 helps quite a bit
