Advice buying a doser..!

Zeal · Nov 20, 2018

Hi all, I’ve had my tank since April and it’s time to start dosing the big three.

Wondering if anyone could recommend a doser that doesn’t hurt the pocket. I’ve seen these JAbeo one but they look cheaply made... and the reviews are a toss up.

Would like something that has WiFi etc etc

I saw this at WWC and would like to build something similar...

Thanks,

I use the apex DOS. If you have a apex it's the best thing to have. Love pulling up my phone and seeing what it's doing at any time.

Haven’t invested in a apex yet... super expensive

Get the EL version. Start off cheaper and it pays off fast.

The unit is small and compact. App is pretty easy to use. Had it set up for a few days and it’s holding its calibration and prime. No issues so far. They are on sale on reefbreeders right now for $190 with dosing containers

I've had mine set up for a month with no issues. Seems solid for the price, and its pretty small which is a plus.

Why do you want WiFi on a doser (now I sound old). I've heard mixed reviews on the jebao dosers too, it seems like you love them or they fail. Ive had my brs dosers for 4 years now and one finally started to slow down so I'm in the market as well.

For you dos guys how loud is it?

Another option is the GHL you have pictured, 10% off right now with black Friday at BRS... 4 heads, WIFI control, only slightly more expensive than the DOS unit to buy BUT doesn't need a $500 controller to run it.. Oh and if you ever needed more than 4 heads you can buy slave units that are cheaper and can be controlled with the SA doser
