Doser???

[scubasteve]

next big purchase is either a kamoer or bubble magnus 3 channel doser anyone know any ups or downs of either one?

Both have issues from what I read. Typically happen early though. So just be sure to limit the fluid in your containers and check that the pumps are running when they are supposed to. Haven't read to many long term failures. But replacement heads are pricey.

thats what i was worried about..... ive heard of people receiving up to 5 ml of overdose as well.... sigh guess im gonna be stuck with my measuring cup a while longer..... anybody know of a reliable doser or do they all suck as much as reviews say

Ive had great luck with my Brs dosers so far and got them used and the person that i bought them from said they never had any issues.

If u have lots of $ the new apex one looks sweet

I've been eyeballing the Jeabo DP-4 Doser. Dunno what I'd need 4 pumps for.. guess a spare is always nice
Pets and Ponds has them for $139.00 (Would rather buy from Canada than China, fast shipping, no Duty, and P&P handles the warranty)

I have a vertex doser and it has been very accurate.... I did have a firmware update issue but that was my fault

You can wait for Torx to release a new line of DIY doser

I've got the GHL doser and it's been working fine for me. Has a calibration feature that is relatively easy to use.

I have a bubble maggus for sale

Pretty much all dosers can have a bad dose or issue. Much like power heads, some are just bad. There are none that are 100%. Magnus and Vertec have the best rep as people, much like with clothing, immediately associate cost with quality.

+1 here. Easy to use, accurate and no issues (knock on wood).

ya i just gotta be careful with aqua vitro because the amounts used are alot smaller than most name brands so a little more or a little less will have me on a sh** rope in a big hurry at least here i can get truthful long term review from members and not a sales pitch.... hurry up with that doser design torx lol

 

[jroovers]

I've got a brand new BRS doser in-box never used that I'm trying to sell, if you end up going the BRS route let me know you can save yourself a bit of $ at my expense

I have a kamoer and I have never had any issues. Before I fired it up on the tank, I dosed water into a measuring cup and made sure everything was kosher for a few days as a practice dry run.

ya was planning on doing the same test.... kamoer is what i was leaning more towards wish more people that had them long term could chime in since most net reviews are just after purchase not after a year of operation

My bubble magus worked well for 2 years then the alk pump stopped working and my alk dropped dangerously low before I noticed it, I have a vertex now but it stops working periodically and has to be rebooted, I check it daily to make sure.
If you have a controller the brs pumps are good, just make sure you use relay outlets to run them.

Well I have had mine well over a year. Work fine even to this day.
