Which Dosing Pump

[E.intheC]

Which dosing pump are you using? Please post your experiences as well.

I have a bunch of these pumps. To me, they are more "industrial.". I've also found a source for replacement tubing and a DIY to replace it. The one caveat is that you do need some type of timing device to use them.

Here is the dosing section of my stand. Two pumpS on the left are for DIY alk and calc. Back right pump is for DIY NOPOX.

I have 2 Kamoer x4 pro and love them. Easy to setup and have run flawlessly for over a year now

BRS hooked up to a kasa powerstrip with on/off scheduled events.

I use three: RedSea ReefDose4, Kamoer X1 pro, Bubble Magus TS1.

ReefDose4 is great with what it can do. However, it does have issues connecting to WiFi (for me).

Kamoer X1 Pro is also very good. The only caveat is that it has continued to run (more than once) when doing a manual addition.

Bubble Magus TS1 is a solid performer. There is no real way to calibrate, just adjust if needed. No WiFi or BT connectivity. This can be seen as good or bad. I like the simplicity and use it as such.

Inexpensive Jebao DP-4 going on 5 years with no issues whatsoever.

I use a Kamoer X1 PRO2 to dose All-For-Reef. Simple to setup and has worked perfectly so far.

Voted OTHER.

Jebao 2.4 wifi doser.

Never had a single issue with it and it works via an app that I can control from anywhere. Does everything I need it to. 4 heads, control from anywhere, under $80.

I use an EcoTech Versa - I have one doser setup with room for 3 more. Apparently these things are either discontinued or harder to get than plutonium as they have been 'Out of Stock' forever....

BTW - it's been running for over a year and I have had zero issues - it just works

I use a Red Sea 2 head doser. Small compact and works great. Very easy to set up.

Neptune Dos, because I have 2 young kids and anything that saves me time (ie trident controlled dosing = no frequent manual testing to ensure dose is adequate) is worth it's weight in gold.

Yep I use four different brand pumps but am only given the option to select one.
I use the Dos for 2 part dosing and love it
I use two Kamoer X1 for trace elements
I have 6 of the Bubble Magus TM01 pumps but they aren’t normally hooked up just because on my tank I don’t regularly need to dose anything else.
I also have a few older Masterflex pumps, one of which I use for AWC.

For a workhorse of a pump I absolutely love the Masterflex pump although mine are old and loud so I need to keep them in my utility room where my mixing station is.

I really like the control of the Dos

The Kamoers are really nice for the price and the best cheap pump IMO.

The Bubble Magus pumps I bought used for incredibly cheap, but at full price I would never buy them, I’d just get more Kamoers instead.

Thanks for the votes - it looks like a 4 way tie between BRS, Kamoer, Red Sea, and Neptune…
