Picking your brain on Proportioners!

[HighSeas]

We're getting SO close to this orchid house being done! I know my husband will be happy when it is! Football season is here!

I've been to Ray's place and read the information on proportioners....siphon -vs- metered. Apparently the siphon mixers aren't as accurate when determining ppm and the 'metered' offer greater accuracy and are more versatile in terms of how you can deliver your grog.

Of course, the 'metered' variety is more expensive...

For those of you who use one or the other, what do you like, dislike about your system and which would you recommend?

I have a 25 Gallon tank and I know I'll need a pump. Question is, there are a LOT of pumps out there of various capacities. I don't want my water to trickle out of the hose end....and I don't want a monsoon. How do I know the size of the pump I need? Got any ideas based on your experience?

I've looked and looked and don't see where anyone has posted a diagram of such a set up...tank, pump, porportioner. I'd like to run a misting system off the same tank too. Can anyone help me with this?

Thankie, Thankie, Thankie!!!!
