Looking for a recommendation on dosing pumps. Would prefer a 4 head unit but not 100% opposed to 2-2 head or 4 singles if the reliability and control features are worth it. I have an APEX with DOS already for 2 part but dropping another $600 on 2 DOS doesn't really appeal to me.

Amount of daily dose is only around 0.9-1 ml

I got rid of my 2 dos for kamoer wifi single head dosers and really like them. I have 3 wifi and I have a single regular Bluetooth pump. All work great.
I was looking at the 4 head Kamoer but seems to have mixed reviews. I’d really like to see dry good sellers have the total sold number beside the review numbers. Be nice to grasp wether 25% of folks that bought have issues or <5%.

I havent seen many complaints at all on the single head dosers. Ive had the bluetooth doser for about a year and it's worked like a champ. Actually had 2 and now I just keep the 2nd as a backup just in case.

I run full Apex but still use three GHL doser 2.1s for all my dosing needs. Really like them
Hadn't even considered them, I forgot they could be used standalone. Thanks

Red Sea is coming out with a new doser this month. Looks pretty nice. Intro price of $315 for the 4 head version.

I was gonna try the RS Reefdose but didn't see them in stock anywhere.

I ended buying the Kamoer Pro F4 WiFi 4 head doser this morning. Most of the negative reviews I read appeared to be based around issues getting the Wifi to connect when they were initially setting up the device so as long as the Wifi connects it should fit my needs good enough. Some other dosers had higher overall review scores but the negative reviews were more focused on needing to be calibrated often or heads needed replacing well before anticipated. Ill update the thread once it arrives and get it installed.

I own a Coral Box Doser and thought it was going to be the answer. I've attempted to use it twice and have never been able to keep it from back siphoning. Standard Chinese doser that many companies sell. I can't stand those 2mm hoses. Different check valves, tubing, moving piece to different levels never any progress.

I ordered 2 DOS last fall and it was a night and day difference. Just ordered a third today.

Honestly if you can't trust the doser what is the point.

PS. I had really wanted to buy the Ecotech Versa but they only exist on Youtube.
