Well I pulled the trigger and purchased one of these dosing pumps off eBay. It came to $160 shipped which ain't to bad considering what others are going for.

I've currently set it up to dose alk and cal 4 times a day. Still waiting to find out exactly what my weekly mag consumption is.

For the price, the device is pretty good. Each pump can be programmed to dose up to 16 times a day at 4 different speeds. There is some slight variation to the amount dosed with each pump but that can easily be figured out with a little testing.

Pros
- 3 programmable dosing pumps
- temperature probe
- emergency shut off timer
- manual and auto dosing modes

Cons
- top facing screen
- no enough airline tubing provided

It seems to be working pretty good for the first week. Time will tell moving forward.

I'm due to take measurements to make sure my levels are on par but here are some photos of the set up and the happy corals (minus the too-far-gone acro on the left).
