What dosing pump is best

[vostasf]

So I’ve started my tank and it’s up and running. I’m wanting to start dosing the tropic marine all in one liquid but I do need a dosing pump any recommendations?
I have a 45gallon mixed reef tank
I also want to be able to control it by phone for the ease
What would you guys recommend??

I have used to kamoer in the past connectivity is hit or miss. Neptune dos is my preferred choice

Okay thank you!. I have looked at that but I don’t want to go full Neptune system since it’s only a 40g I won’t have for very long

Versa if you only need 1. Dos if you need more than one is my rec

BRS has some inexpensive dosers by AutoAqua. Not good for continuous dosing, but if you plan to only do so much each hour they work good. I used one in the past when I needed a cheap doser for a short time.

I have a Kamoer x4 pro, the app connectivity sucks, or did in the beginning; I don’t want to jinx it, but it’s worked flawlessly for a few weeks now. It’s a compact doser, I want to keep things contained and hidden, the DOS pumps seem like they take up a large space compared to most of the other multi-head dosers.

I used a redsea doser setup for 6 months before i tore the system it was on at the time. It worked well with no issues. My 300 I’m running a dos being I have an apex system.

And on two other systems I’m using the Aquawiz and it’s a champ for me anyways.

Everyone loves to bash RS here for their tank issues but their platform and connectivity is the best. I’ve used Neptune and eco tech and had problems with both the reef beat platform has always performed for me and their dosers have been a reliable set it and forget it product for me. Can’t say that about much else I’ve purchased in this hobby.

For a 45g I’d keep it simple and go with a single-head dosing pump if All For Reef is all you’re dosing. I’d definitely get one with app control though, makes small adjustments way easier. Whatever you choose, start with a low dose and adjust based on your alk consumption rather than trying to guess the dose right away

I do not like RS as a company but I love my reefdose and the app. I've also had good luck with kamoer x1 and f1 single head units but I much prefer the RS app.
That said if your talking about using all for reef I've found it works perfectly fine dosed manually if you don't feel like running a doser.
I ran this tank for 2 years dosing manually before I moved to a doser. All grown from little frags.

I'm currently manual dosing this tank and have no intention of adding a doser.

People will poopoo the idea but I also dose ESV 2 part manually on my 330g which has been running for 3 years. Nothing wrong with a doser and they can be needed when dosing large amounts on a tank with fast growing SPS but I've not found a doser necessary using AFR.
Nothing wrong with automation but I find it not needed most of the time and I see no need to add a failure point that can cause a catastrophe if/ when it fails unless it's absolutely necessary but I'm a simple reefer.

I have a Jebao doser on my Freshwater tank and it works well!
