DOS alternative for Trident

[BelleReef]

I am planning on buying an Apex and Trident on black Friday, but I have a tight budget and I am on the fence about getting a DOS. It seems like $300 is a steep price when I can get two BRS dosing pumps for $160. Does anyone have any experiences/opinions about using a third party dosing pump with the Apex and Trident? Is the DOS worth the extra cost?

I would go with the dose because not only is it more accurate but you can replace just about every part on there if need be. And it's easier to use Apex fusion to set the dosing amount than a timer. But TBH both will work fine with the trident. It's up to you. But in my experience, I would go with the DOS

It somewhat defeats the purpose by not having the DOS to work with the Trident and its controlled dosing option.

look around on your local club’s website to see if anyone has a nice used one for sale.

It would depend on the accuracy you want on whatever it is you are dosing and what you are trying to grow.

Do you need your equipment silent? If so, so then DOS is not for you.

If you're getting the trident and apex stay in the same pool and go with dos - it'll all integrate so well
