Best Dosing system out there?

[lostmyz]

I am interested in getting a dosing system for my 72gal Reef eventually but curious as to which is the best?

I am looking currently between the

LiterMeter 3
GHL ProfiLux Stand Alone Dosing System, 4 Pumps W/ Controller

And i saw this digital one from Coral-Shop.com that looks pretty cool it was displayed at the Reefstock convention in CO this year.

What are you all using and what do you think works best and is the closest to flawless. I use to use a TOM's aqualifter for top off and wanted to rip my hair out every few days to fix it and than went with a Tunze Osmolator and MAN I LOVE THAT THING!!!!!

Check out bubble magus t01

I'm running 2 BRS dosers for Ca and Kh with a couple inexpensive timers and I haven't had any issues. Hopefully I upgrade to a profilux controller and it'll be even better.

+2 love mine.. I set mine and forgot about it... all numbers are in check..

+3 .. Kinda like that commercial "set it and forget it " .. Well not really but pretty darn close .
I have a few buddies that have the marine magic unit . They love their unit too .

If you're looking for the BEST? I think you have to go with the Litermeter. I've had mine for 4 years. LOVE IT! No need to worry about timers or how many times for how long. You tell it how many mL you want and it doses that much over a 24 hour period.

I have one of these

This thing is a beast...In my opinion it has a much stronger and longer lasting motor than the hobby dosing pumps out there. I know many people really like their Bubble Magus dosers, this is just another option

I have to say i was not all that impressed with the SpectraPure litermeters, especially after opening one up to clean it. It is simply 3 nylon/plastic rollers that are moved by the motor. Many times I have the one I use for top off whirring away without it actually pumping. A cleaning gets it working, but its needed far more cleanings than my BRS dosers....which have never needed it. I no longer trust it and am planning to replace it with something more reliable. Plus the remote pumps seem ridiclously expensive considering they are just a simple motor with some plastic rollers.

I would go with the Bubble Magus one, the Profilux if you can afford more $

 

[lostmyz]

Hmmm I will probably go with a Bubble Magus T01. I have to set up my Korallin Calcium Reactor C-1502 and get my Neptune Apex Unit and a pH probe and hopefully I won't have to dose anything. I think....

 

[moondoggy4]

Are you planning to use the doser to feed the calicum reactor?

 

[lostmyz]

no the doser was possibly for some other things down the line that i might have to dose. With a reactor my Ca and Alk and pH should eventually find a balance

 

[moondoggy4]

Ok, good, hobby peri pumps are not made for continues duty.

 

[divewsharks]

If you have the apex, you could add the brs dosers to that. That's how I run, have been for years without a single issue.

 

[lostmyz]

Don't have the Apex unit yet. And if i run my reactor I shouldn't need a doser i suppose. I have a tunze osmolator unit right now and for the first time ever in 2 months my alarm went off... filled 2 inches above my set max water lvl. Either i have too much turbulence in my sump or too many micro bubbles in that chamber. I had to not run my skimmer for a week bc the pump blew on it and was sending electricity through out my tank. My fish are much happier now but more bubbles in my sump. I have some fun awaiting for me when i get back from out of town tomorrow with that osmolator... the sensor is going to the last chamber (its like almost stagnant besides the return pump)

 

[Gotcha!]

I will +1 for the Profilux. I love mine.
