I hope you get it that cheap! I've looked at those a few times and they're normally even more expensive then the aquarium ones. I just found these for the first time! Idk if they're new or what because I'm on eBay all the time and I've never saw them...crazy cheap and affordable programmable dosing pumps with a 1 year warranty.... pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=301196960039&alt=web There's like 3 different ones but this is the cheapest one I found. Funny how it's very similar to the bubble Magnus dosing pumps huh? Haha |

It's the same thing as the Bubble Magnus and the parts are interchangeable which is nice because replacement heads are easy to come by. So far I'm happy with mine but time will tell. |

Is it as accurate as they say? What do you have yours set to dose at for ml/min 1.1? |

Mine seems to be very accurate. The programing is set up to dose as much or little as you'd like three times a day.

They ask look the exact same with different name tags. One has white tips on the hoses instead of black but that's the only difference I can see? Mind sharing where exactly you got it? Link... |

It's the same one but mine is a "Marine Color" brand. It may have a different program but it's the exact same thing.

Jason, any results with the Acropower? Have you noticed any increase in polyp extension? Color changes?

I have seen increases in all the above, my pink milli is finally back to it's former glory and a few of my more finicky acros like my rainbow acro and purple tabling acro are both showing more polyp extension since starting. I also noticed a slight increase in growth.
I'll try to get some pics later on but I'd definitely recommended it to anyone keeping acros.

I just bought a bottle online last night... I am going to put it in a container with a magnetic stirrer and dose it regularly....
