Dosing pump

Any recommendations on a dosing pump?

I am going out of town for a while. A friend is looking in on the tank but I thought I would make life easier by topping up my water and adding my 2 part buffers with a dosing pump.

The tank is 75 G and looses about 2 G of water a day to evaporation (I have 2 250 MH and 2 110 Actinics so I use fans to cool my tank)

For multiple solutions, you'll need the Vario 3 way dosing pump. It's either that or buy 3 seperate dosing pumps, one for water top-off and 2 for the 2 part additive. I only use dosing pump for water top-off (via a Nielson reactor), so I employ a Litermeter III.

Len summed it up pretty nicely. The Vario 3 is probably your best bet if you want to dose all 3 while you're out. OTOH if all you want to do is to automate your water topoff, then any dosing pump would work fine: Litermeter, ReefFiller, etc. Since all I wanted to be able to do was to topoff with kalkwasser, I ended up getting a Pulsafeeder chemical dosing pump off ebay for under $100. Pulsa manufactures the ReefFiller pump FYI.
