Option 1: Awesome, never hear any complaints.
Option 2: Always hear people complaining about theirs.

I have a Neptune DOS but my next dosing pump is going to be a ReefDose 4.
I have a Neptune Dos. It's to big and it's only 2 heads. I need a 4 head dosing pump.

Yes, I have a Neptune DOS as well for my 3-part. I plan to add a ReefDose 4-head dosing system down the road to augment it (since I don't need Trident-controlled dosing on it).

Option 3, Sentia Dose. I have 5 total spread out over two systems and I absolutely love them. The great thing is you're not locked in to 2 or 4 head units, you buy what you need and can always add more secondary dosers later on.

I have been using a handful of Kamoer X1 Pro 2 dosing pumps for 2 years now. I've only had one issue with the app in those 2 years, and a software update solved it relatively quickly.

Based on my positive experience with the Kamoer pumps I have been using, I just ordered the Kamoer X5S for my newest tank build. I couldn't find a retailer in the states that carried it, so I ordered from AliE.

I currently have the Kamoer F4 Pro. I really like it. The biggest complaint about it is connectivity. And I believe that most people don't know how to create a specific 2.5ghz wifi channel for the doser. If you can do that, then you are golden.

Mine has been up and running for 2 years. No issues and even holds calibration.

That being said I have used the one below:
1) Neptune Dos - Great pumps, just noisy
2) BM Doser - Ok, no wifi, but reliability
3) Ecotech Versa - Best choice, but pricey

I think a didactic 2.4 wifi is the key. I don't know how to do it or I'd create one for reefing only.

I think Reef Factory has something like that also. I like reef Factory as well.
