Doser decision help!

fragit · Nov 25, 2016

I am going to order a 3 head stand alone doser today for my balling supplements. I have narrowed my choices to GHL Doser 2 SA, or Kamoer 3 Channel Doser. Please help me decide which way to go. The Kamoer is slightly cheaper. However for another $50 I can get it with 3 dosing containers. GHL has more reviews and stellar reputation. And go!

I use GHL, but the older unit. This is one area I will not skimp. A doser malfunction could destroy a tank full of corals, especially SPS.

I would have no reservation in suggesting GHL. Yes, you will pay more, but in my opinion, reliabilty is more important than saving a few bucks.

Any food safe container can be used for your balling solutions. With no personal knowledge, tupperware liquid containers may be cheaper.

+2 on the GHL. I too use the older version but love it. I know Ed @reefwiser uses the newer version and has sung its praises. Maybe he'll chime in here.

GHL for sure. I have the DOS system and I wished I would have gone GHL. It's a great company with great products. Considering switching everything to GHL.

You will love it small and you can use it with your smartphone.

Dunno if you pulled the trigger too soon! I know you were looking to catch a (3)three head unit on sale.

Standalone Doser 2 and 2.1 are $339 as of now! Premium Aquatics.

Doh! I did pull the trigger early it looks like. I ordered from GHL USA directly. I order on Black Friday. They had them marked down to $359. Too late now. That sucks because I looked on Aquacave, and Premium Aquatics before my placing my order. Oh well!

On more question for you GHL folks. The GHL site said that "1/4 tubing is not included". I need to make a small BRS supply order and thought I would get some tubing. Do I need 1/4 ID, or 1/4 OD tubing.

You need 1/4" OD tubing.
