This is what I use, I suggest going for as large as you can though, or you refill daily.

I have the 2.5 gal I can sell you for $20. I bought it about 2 or 3 months ago. With my new set up I do not need it.

Jim, I can not remember if you have a sump or not. I was looking for sometning a while back to drip Kalkwasser with that would fit under my stand. I found a 5 gallon tupperware type container with a snap lid at Lowes for about 5 bucks (I think). The container is only about 8 inches tall so it fit nicely under the stand. I drilled a hole in the bottom and put a plastic cable gland in the bottom (these glands have rubber inside to seal out water from entering around the cable). I then got a IV dripper and inserted it into the gland and tightened it down. It worked perfectly and I used it until i decided to go with a doser. I am sure I can dig mine out of storage if you are interested. I am in Portland, OR right now but should be back by next Wednesday. If you do not have a sump, I would not go with this design though.

Good Luck,
Jeremy
