Looking for a no frills doser

[PeterC99]

What is the most bang for your buck doser.
What are the added benefits to having a doser that you can control via wifi

I've never used/had one before am looking to dose for alkalinity and calcium so perhaps a 3 head unit.

I haven't a clue what to look for so any help is appreciated.

First question before you begin - Do you already have a Neptune Apex?

No

No

And you are sure you are not going to win one in the next BRS give away?

In all seriousness, highly recommend B-Ionic 2 part For dosing. Little more expensive but corals grow very well.

I started dosing 20ml of each b ionic component by hand until I got a doser.
Easy to do at feeding time.

I've never heard of that two part and I just ordered All For Reef, but I will make note of it and if All for Reef doesn't work or I feel it's lacking, I'll give B Ionic a shot.
All these additives are new to me. But thanks.

These are the things/information new reefers need to be aware of!!!

I've had the same bubble magus doser for 8 years now. 0 problems with it. Not wifi or Bluetooth but easily programmable. I couldn't see myself going with any other brand based off my past experience.

All for reef is as easy, adjust dose up or down after testing at the same time each day. Adjust the dose to your target dkh, start with 1ml per 5 gallons.

Yes, you definitely want a heated version. Just checked and mine was $43 off amazon...looks like they are $48 now.

How big of a beaker do you use to mix your solution? Does it come with a 1000ml beaker?

 

[MONTANTK]

I use the Kamoers and they’re fantastic. A German doser for under $75, you just can’t beat it

No beaker included.
