Default controlling drip rate

I've got containers up the wazoo but no real good way to control drip rate. I'm fed up with dosing "liquid reactor". It's for the birds imo. I bought some kalkwasser and turbo calcium. I can kill 2 birds w/ one stone here! hehe (counting the 1-2 gals of topoff water i add per day. Anyways, does anyone know where i can find one of those drip rate things. I think what I'm looking for is one of those drippers you see in hospitals, hooked up to some poor dudes IV line. Is that what I want?

Thx for the advice in advance !

Some of the powerheads come with them to add air to a tank. So you may want to just go to the local store and open some of the cheapest PH they have and maybe you can find on there. That would probably cost the same as getting one at marine depot and then paying shipping.

what you are talking about is an IV pump, or dosing pump. You can find quite a few on ebay
