Using dosing pump for breeder tank

[B B]

Was wondering if this would be a good idea.

Using a 4 pump dosing unit for (1) feeding artemia (2) feeding rotifers (3-4) auto waterchange drain/fill

can the tubing on these pumps be cleaned/replaced easily? Can I pump vinegar to clean the tubes?

If this is possible I will need to get one.

vinegar is OK for cleaning

to be honest, we never tried what you suggested

-> try it and let us all know

tubes, pumps and motors are available as spare parts - so what should happen?

I would suggest that you do not make the runs to long for the feeding systems. If there is live artemia and rotifers still in the run when it has stopped, then there will be no oxygen supply and they will die, this might get toxic depending on when the next feed schedule is and the toxic load will get dumped into the delicate mouths you are trying to save!
