Keeping supplements mixed??

[imaccat]

I posted this in the General Aquarium forum, but didn't get much response so thought I would try here

I have a dosing pump set up to supply Seachem Reef Fusion 1 & 2, however the Alk solution (Fusion 2) needs mixing prior to dosing. I've had it up and running for a couple of months and found that there is a lot of sediment left in the Alk solution.

A small pump seems to be overkill as it's only a 1lt container (but may be the simplest solution) and I dont think an airstone will do enough to move the solution around.

Anybody have any other ideas on how to keep it mixed?

Thanks

What kind of dosing pump do you use?

This one, a Babyfish dosing pump

Thanks very much Eddie, looks like the air stone might be something to try, although maybe not perfect.

You're welcome Iain!

Looks like its fine if they stay at room temp with an occasional shaking of the 2-parts.

Hi Iain, sorry if I'm hi-jacking here but I make and sell these which may be of interest to you and a solution to your problem. They draw from the bottom and are large enough to place a small pump into or airstone if need be.

Kay, no your not hi-jacking at all. Can I just check the price, is that £30 each or for the set of 3? Also what price without p&p? As I could come and pick them up from you.

Cheers

It's £30 for the set Iain. Postage costs me around £6 so £24 but for a fellow club member I'll just take £20 as collecion makes it much more easier for me.
