Kamoer Dosing Pumps

NASOTANG87 · Jul 4, 2019

Does anyone have any experience with Kamoer dosing pumps? I’m looking for a cheap but efficient solution and these little pumps look interesting.

I just bought one for the little planted tank on my desk. I have been very impressed. Simple. App is easy to use. Many features I didn’t know about like letting you know how long the dosing container will last. I would buy again.

Only down side for me is there is no dosing holder included and the dosing tubing that is included is very small I used some micro airline to airline adapters I purchased at the LFS to convert to regular air line and then used a regular air line mount to hold the tube in place.

Could you see using it for a 70 gal. Mixed reef?

Over time if you plan to go the dosing route you might need more than 1 head. Ive been using the f4 and its simple to set up.

Yeah I was thinking over getting two of these for two part dosing. I dose now but do it by hand.

I am running 3 for about 3 weeks now. As mentioned super easy to set up. I bough 3 dosers and e of the kamoer jugs. You can link the 3 together and only use 1 plug. The so far have held correct calibration. I ordered 4 extra tubing packs from amazon as back up. I thought the tubing was long enough for my application. And whole set up less than 200

I have thought of adding some to my 120 but I already have dosing covered. They would definitely be an upgrade from the Timer controlled dosers I have now.

Thanks for the input. Sounds like for the price they’re kind of hard to beat.

I got one to dose no3, then i stopped and started using it for alk. I might pick up 2 more for cal/mag. It's easy to use and easy to connect via bluetooth, the only downside is the tubing is smaller than regular air line tubing I'm used to.

Any chance you could share the link for the tubing packs and containers? And what did you use to put those containers in? are those desk organizers?

Another curious reefer wants to know also. Especially the organizers to store the jugs in and set the dosing pumps on.
