Auto doser input?

[Schraufabagel]

After getting advice, I’m going to dose All for Reef in my 25 gallon nano.

I have an open drive port on my hydros controller. So I could use one of the new X1 hydros dosing pumps for All for Reef. I could then use a regular X1 Bluetooth for my ChaetoGro, since I have a refugium.

Or, I could get the 2 channel Red Sea doser. Any thoughts on what you would choose? The hydros doser also only doses per whole mL, the Bluetooth X1 doses per 0.1 mL, and the Red Sea pump doses per 0.05 mL

Don't know about the hydros but I'm leaning towards red sea because ecotech is not available. I like the compact size.

Bumping; before I buy something tonight yet

I bought a 4 head Red Sea doser a month ago and I love it. ( but I know nothing about pros/cons of any other dosing pump). Easy set up, accurate dosing, simple app. The pump is solidly made and nicely packaged giving me confidence that it’s made to last. I did buy the tubing set with organizing rack and dosing tips for $30 extra. But the price compared to other dosers is still pretty good. I highly recommend!

Besides alk and cal what do you dose with it? Doesn't seem like mag is necessary if you do water changes.

I dunno about others, but I am dosing the entire Red Sea lineup. Both the Foundation and the Reef Colors + NOPOX. I manually dose the AB+ due to the refrigeration and mixing/shaking requirements

Just alk and Ca. I was thinking of Kalkwasser. And I wanted flexibility if I wanted to dose something else in the future.

This is why I was thinking of the 2 head doser instead so it would fit in the cabinet easier to.

That’s also what I’m leaning toward. It’s just less to fill up and maintain

When I was at my coral vendor shop with multiple large frag tanks, all they had were 2 head dosers for alk and cal only and this maintain well over $100k in coral probably.
