What’s everyone’s favourite dosing pump? Picture for tax 🐠

@billy 1y

I use Red Sea DOS. Works very well and connects to an app but a bit pricy.

@LANY 1y

I’ve heard good things about Red Sea dosers but like you said they are really pricey.

@Cameron61901 1y

I’ve been looking for a good single dosing pump. Although I’ve read some horror stories about pumps sticking on and that makes me think maybe I should keep dosing by hand.

@LANY 1y

This is exactly the situation I’m in right now. I’ve been doing some research, and while some brands are generally fine, you can never be sure if the product will malfunction. Not to mention how expensive they are.

@Cameron61901 1y

Yeah even some of the top brands have reviews of them getting stuck, makes me worried haha I dose all for reef though so it’s only one thing I have to worry about besides adding some magnesium once a week so I still haven’t decided if it’s worth saving the few minutes everyday.

@LANY 1y

Exactly. I only have to dose alk, so I’m not sure either. The main reason I’m considering getting one is because I go on vacations and need to maintain my alk while I’m away.

@Cameron61901 1y

Now that you mention vacations I’ll probably end up buying a single dosing pump for vacations most likely. Hadn’t taken a vacation since I started dosing. I’d love to have one running all the time but reading stories of tank crashes just makes me not want to risk it when it’s not necessary but maybe that’s being overly cautious.

@LANY 1y

That’s the only reason I want one, to be honest. Auto Aqua just released their own doser called the Auto Aqua Smart Doser. It’s a good deal—4 heads for 250+ CAD—but since it’s a new product, I’m not sure if I should go for it.

I’ve been using the Kamoer F1 for my all for reef and I’ve had no issues it’s app controlled and very easy to use never had any issues can be blue toothed or WiFi enabled for when your not home but want to control it.

@LANY 1y

Might have to check that one out. Does it keep the settings you have even when the power goes out? I’ve heard certain brands loses their settings when power goes out.

@CorbinSwinney17506 1y

Yes it does mine kept the setting after moving to a new house and all I had to do was plug it in and it was ready to go
