Possibly the best dosing pumps that money can buy? The new Reef Factory ones are here!!

[CasperOe]

Pretty dang happy with these ones so far, the new pro dosing pumps from Reef Factory are hands down the best dosing pumps I've ever tried!

Well done! If anyone is looking for a 1 or 4 channel doser with the best app money can buy, look no further!

Advertised with an accuracy of 0.01 ml - and up to 48 dosing interval per day.

Currently dosing phosphate down and nitrate up.

Now; time for them to perfect the Smart Tester and get me those nitrate reagents

They run near silent i tell you! A great wee bit of kit and reasonably priced as as well at £139 - a whopping £60 less than an Ecotech Versa!

What are those dosing line holders?

Red Sea Comes with their dosing tube kit. Don't think they sell separately sadly..

I've bought it separately, from lfs, in a kit with different colored tubing

Sorry didn't catch where you said with dosing tube kit

Exactly the one I refer to - so not seperately It comes with the tubing!

On a separate note, the Red Sea tubing does not work with the RF pumps - ID is too big so there's not a tight seal sadly.

Changed to the included RF dosing tubing yesterday despite the fact that I liked the Red Sea colors...

So, with .01dosing resolution(like my dosetronic), this doser uses stepper motors? Can it be operated without internet(such as directly via bluetooth)? That's the only downside ive found with my dosetronic, no internet- no access...

No internet - No access. Only accessible via browser or app.

Luckily we in the UK experiences very, very few outages. Changes are that I don't need to adjust anything during that one hour in that one year where it doesn't work.

As for the mechanics, they do indeed use stepper motors.

I should have been more clear. I meant these. Found them.

ReefDose Tube Organizer Clips (3 pack)

The ReefDose Tubing Organizer Clips are also a real bonus, allowing you to anchor the lines along the way from your ReefDose doser to the dosing point in your sump or back of your aquarium. The clips snap open to accept four dosing lines, and then close to keep them secure. Just place a few at...

I like the fact that a single doser is available. Have you used redsea dosers? I only asked because my exierience is limited to kamoer and redsea dosers with redsea being my favorite from hardware to the app.

I run the Red Sea 4x doser on a separate tank actually! It's good too, I can't fault it but in my humble opinion these ones are far better, having not taken the longevity into consideration yet as they have been running for about a month.

They are quieter, more precise, far easier to adjust (I never managed to like the Red Sea app) and doesn't need a structural engineer to hang them Oh- and they integrate with smart testers, alk testers etc. within the RF ecosystem.

.... and they look cool too

Thanks, exactly the info I was looking for. I love my reefdose and the app but I'm not too fond of my kamoer dosers and will replace them with something different when they fail. I may give these a try. Variety is the spice of life right?

If I may ask, what other dosing pumps did you use?

Advertised with an accuracy of 0.01 ml - and up to 48 dosing interval per day.

That claim of 0.01ml would make me hesitant to buy. That there is Swiss watch precision $$$$$. How would you prove at home that it is precise to within 0.01ml WOW. Maybe it is 0.1ml?

I use Red Sea, Neptune, D&D and these ones. These ones far wins out in this pack for sure. They're the real thing, the full package.

As for precision, i merely states what the manufacturer does and yes.. it is 0.01 ml. My precision scale confirmed this during calibration and verification.

I wouldn't be hesitant buying them basis this. If you need 0.01 ml accuracy, then your more advanced than a £139 dosing pump anyway

 

[CasperOe]

So, did a precision test on both of them - both within 0.01 ml (well, gram!) three times in a row. Thats mighty impressive!
