Unfortunately their don't seem to be any on there at the moment.

You must have seen them before?

If you go in hospital or visit they normally sit by the bedside on stand. They take standard syringe sizes & you can programme them to dose as & when required.

Keep a look out as they appear on ebay quite regularly.


The perisaltic pump as you pointed out is not much good for this as the aqua-medic one is not adjustable & the flow rate is a bit high however........ theyre are a few good ones out their that are completely adjustable. Stick them on an electronic timer & you'd probably be in luck with a few calculations??????

Check out this for better ones.

The mini one can dose as low as 2ml/minute so a good timer could control this although you would probably better off making the solutions weaker & it would help with the evaportaion too.

Larger marine setups have several of these all running on a mini computer system called an IKS. Very expensive but rather cool automated tank as it monitors just about everything!!!!
 
sounds like a great idea. the only problem i can see is it doses 2ml a minute. i need 2.5ml a day, not a minute. i suppose you could set up a timer plug or something.
