I wanted to get a bubble king sump for this tank, but the JBJ stand has a central support that canceled that plan Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 I have been looking at dosers, but my budget is under $200. That leaves Jebao ($100), Marine Magic ($100), etc. Any recommendations? I could probably get one of the Eshopps dosers from NR classifieds Link to comment
Wretched Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I use the Jebao DS-4 and it's great. Really easy to calibrate and in my experience the doser is spot on. Link to comment
lilmatty5dimes Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 What do you think of the Advanced Acrylics one? Its an AIO Can you send me the picture? I can't see it on ReefCentral Oh and treasure coast coral is two and a half hours away Im VERY south lol oh man your way down south. lol let me try to add the pic. AIO tank IMHO are a pita. i had a lfs/good friend set one up pretty close to that and he had so many problems with algae, the back getting dirty, and after about 3 months tore it down and sold it. i had a nuvo 16 and the back was always dirty so much crap fell back there and took time to clean it all up every couple weeks to make sure the nitrates and PO4 wasn't bad. the tank i have now is a cadlight 12g AIO tank that i gutted the false wall and stuck 2 aquaclear 50 on the back for my filters. guess its just a personal preference. lol I have been looking at dosers, but my budget is under $200. That leaves Jebao ($100), Marine Magic ($100), etc. Any recommendations? I could probably get one of the Eshopps dosers from NR classifieds look at the marine color. i used that for a year and have a few friends using them for over 3 years and love it. but i've also heard great things on the other 2. i'm probably going with the jebao when the time comes. here's that 20g tank with glass holes Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 I use the Jebao DS-4 and it's great. Really easy to calibrate and in my experience the doser is spot on. I'm sorry- DP-4 or DS-4? Are there multiple models? Link to comment
Wretched Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Sorry was going off the top of my head, the DP-4. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Sorry was going off the top of my head, the DP-4. Thanks I was just making sure. It looks like it has solid reviews, and is perfect for my price range and requirements. I would like it to dose 15ml Ca and 15ml Alk daily, and in the future possibly a Mg supplement if the two part is not sufficient. The DP-4 has four heads, so I would have redundancy if one broke.

HarryPotter Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Anyone? I'm not sure if I should just go for the Jebao DP4 or save up for a Bubble Magnus/Vertex doser. Opinions? I would just be using it for two part (for now) Link to comment
thecoralbeauty Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Get something you don't have to upgrade any time soon. Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Get something you don't have to upgrade any time soon. Why would anyone need to upgrade a doser? Lol! It does 1-9999 ml a day! I see your point Link to comment
