dosing pumps

I assume you mean a syringe type dose, that has a syringe on a motor ?
Problem is these are not cheap, as they need to be accurate for medicine dosing and also hold far too little fluid to be useful.
Better are peristaltic type pumps where you plonk the inlet tube a litre size bottle and run the pump on a timer.
Either make your own system or buy ready made.

Depends on your budget mate
Cheap ones which will do the job are - Jebao
Midrange-kamoer, bubble Magnus aquamedic, TMC
If money is no limit- GHL, Apex Dos, Kore
I use GHL for my reef (i run an aquarium controller for both my tanks) and Jebao for my planted. I did use Kamoer, very good unit but altering doses can be a pain, the Wi-Fi version is hit and miss

Just looked at the GHL and cant justify paying that much for a machine that at the end of the day just doses liquid.
I have had jebao/jecod equipment on my reef tank and have never had any problems but not sure if I trust them enough with a doser.
Not really diy minded, would rather pay for one, so looks like I'm going to look at the mid range ones.
