Not exactly a doser, but I made a water replacement unit using
humidifer float value and a 5 gallon bucket in my salt water tank.
Basically it is just a the float value installed in the sump (or
tank if you don't have a sump) and gravity feed by the bucket of
replacement water. It costs about $12 Cdn.
I suppose you can add whatever you want to dose into the bucket
in the right concentration if you can figure out your rate of
evapouration is.
