The two ways that I've seen videos for that address that issue, through threads here, are:
Using the GHL doser that does reverse (). He had it set up in a little wine chiller. Dose out some food, back it up so the tube is filled with tank water into the cooler.
That seems like a setup where you'd use a fresh bottle every day.
Or using an mini-fridge and actually putting the doser and everything in there. They run a loop through the fridge and into the return section of the sump and the food goes into that ().
The thing I like about that idea is the ability to feed small amounts throughout the day.
I have seen the bottom one before and was think of going that rout with a red bull counter fridge. My only issue was with the bottom one is I feed chunky food to the fish. Chunks would not get through the doser head and lines.
The bottom on is fantastic for dosing the reef nutrition foods and when I go bigger system I would do the same.
From doser to tank, ideally would be a refrigerated line with a larger inside diameter line and head. One draw back I would see it the amount of food in the line and there time would be a factor of how long the food has been slacked. I would say in a large system this would not be a factor
