Specifically the Jebao DP-4 anyone have experience with this thing? I learned in this hobby early cheap is bad, but I really like the option of 4 dosers in one and the price isn't too bad either. It would allow me to dose everything cal/alk/mag/vinegar all in one unit. Any advice is appreciated.
 
I have this doser, while it works and does the job programming is much harder than it needs to be. I recommend the bubble Magus dosing pump.

Also aqua medic is coming out with a 4 pump doser that looks similar to the jabeo but hopefully with a little better components that is priced very well. I think around $150 for the pump than another $50 to add 4 more pumps as a slave unit.
 
Buy cheap means buy twice, at least it's been my experience in my last ten years as a reefer, go with Bubble Magus, Kamoer or Tunze, simple to use but reliable! Imagine after spend tons of money in corals and stuff then a wrong or faulty doser kill the magic. Think twice, good luck and happy Reefing!!!! [emoji223][emoji225][emoji245][emoji226][emoji222]
 
Currently using the DP-4 to dose Alk and Calc. It has been reliably dosing for two months now. It does lack in ease of programming but there are a few instructional Youtube videos if needed.
