I am thinking of the ATI or Triton dosing methods.

Looking at dosers it looks like GHL, ATI and Jebao that have a four head doser.

I have previously done the upside down 2 liter bottle with a needle valve. I know nothing about dosers so any comments/experience is helpful.

GHL too expensive or it is appropriate priced (bang for buck)?

Please let me know any recommendations?

I'm very happy with my Kamoer F4. Wifi controlled so I never physically have to touch it. After calibration it was bang on and has stayed bang on. Priced higher then jebao but lower then many others. Plus they are a dosing pump company.

I also have the Kamoer 4 channel (non WiFi as min is a few years old now) and I purchased it after asking a similar question and then researching further

It’s been faultless and simple to program and I would buy another if need be.

I used jebao and think it is just fine. make sure you calibrate to the dosing volume you are going to use. the unit calibration is for 100ml. if you dose 1ml, you have to test dose 1 ml to make sure you get 1ml. and adjust the 100ml calibration as needed to get exactly 1ml or whatever volume you need to dose. once calibrated, you are set. I don't see the point of wifi.

If you don't have a fishroom or a lot of room under your sump you can simply mount the dose in the back and never touch it again. Over months or years your dosing needs will change. Especially when you get a new dosing pump you may need to work out the adjustments for some time before you are dialed in. This imo makes a wifi dosing pump much more practical then say wifi lights which should be easy to adjust on top of your tank.

It seems like atleast initially the director has a pretty positive following. And I believe that you do get a bit of a deal on the doser when you buy it with the director. The downside to the director is it takes up 3 of the pumps on your doser but that would be an issue no matter which pump you get.

You can buy a cheap doser or an expensive doser. I've had my ghl doser2.1 for a couple years now and it has been fantastic. You can buy a stand alone unit or slave units run with the P4 controller and director. The standalone unit can run one pump as your ATO and can run a temp probe on its own. When you set the doser you set how much volume your dosing container is and it will alarm you when its low. There's plenty of features, plus ghl is just the sexiest looking equipment.
