What dosing pump should I get?

[Matthew40b]

Hey guys, I am really interested in buying a dosing pump so that I don’t have to does by hand anymore, but I am not sure what to get. What pumps do you use and what have you had the best experience with? I have read many reviews on pumps that only last a few months to a year so I don’t want to buy something that wont last. Thanks for your help!!

Ghl dosing pumps are the best in the market in my openion.

I love my bubblemagus T11, no issues. A few people have said they broke after a year but I’ve had nothing but great luck with it.

On the cheaper end of the spectrum Ive had good luck with the Coral Box unit.

I've also used the Jaebo 4 head unit's but have had heads die on them rather quickly... for $60/$80 they did okay though.

If you're looking higher end and/or have a controler then the DOS or GHL are both solid choices.

I think ATI has a rebranded 6 head unit available these days as well. Not sure on who makes it but it looks like a Jaebo replica.

I bought the ATI Nice program but two of the six pumps sound worse than the others. Haven’t had a chance to calibrate it and let it run to see if it will run better on the two noisy ones yet.

I have thought about getting the DOS, but I need more than 2 dosing pumps. Do you know if you can run two of them with the apex?

 

[Scurvy]

Yep you can run more than 1 DOS. I use two.

hmm tempting. I have read that the GHL dosing pump is a little bit more difficult to set up so I think it is between two DOS pumps or the bubble magus T11

I would go BM if you want cost optimized or ghl doser for quality and contolability.
Ghl doser was easy to set up...at least for me.
