Need Help with Dosing Set up

[Jfarooqpak]

Hi. I just got a Kamoer X1 Doser. I own a AIO Biocube 32 LED. I dont have a sump. So the questions are:
1- Does the doser have to be at a level higher than the tank?
2- if so, do you have any setup ideas to create that.
Thank you for your help.

I don’t think the doser needs to be higher than the tank because you shouldn’t have any siphon issues, and the dosing pump probably has enough head to pump up to your tank (that’s a total guess).

Nope. Had mine sitting on top of ATO res on floor when I ran nano. Plenty of power to pump up to tank. There is a celebration mode on login that dials you in to right pump pressure. It comes with a graduated cylinder to do calibration. It’s real simple. Nice cheap doser!

Just to be safe keep the output of the doser out of the water to prevent siphon.

+1 on this. The pump design itself should not be able to allow a siphon but if you put the discharge from the doser slightly above the water level it cannot pull a siphon even if a failure occurs.

Thank you every one.
