How are you liking your Doser 2?

[d2mini]

I think I'm going to run Triton on the new tank so I will have to give up my lovely CaRx in favor of a dosing pump.
Would like to hear how you guys are liking your Doser 2 after some real use.

I love it. No complaints here. Havent had any issues at all. Using it for my denitrator and to add magnesium.

no issues with mine I use it for Balling Method and it just works.

What about the Slave vs the Stand Alone?
Since I have the Profilux I wouldn't need the stand alone version.
Then again, I think it's only around $50 difference?
So would it make sense to just get the SA version? A couple advantages I can think of...
1) Extra Level port
2) Extra Temp port
3) Better resale value
4) If anything happens to my Profilx, I can still control the doser

Meanwhile, if I wasn't using any of that extra stuff just yet, the SA still functions exactly the same as the Slave, correct? No disadvantage for a Profilux owner to run the SA Doser 2?

Agree.
If I can go back I would get the SA version

Is it possible to use the stand alone doser 2 if you do not have a Profilux controller?

The Standalone Doser 2 gained support to be used in Slave Mode two weeks ago. You'll need to download and install GCC 1.0.8.2, update profiLux to FW6.25 and Doser 2 to FW1.17.

Keep in mind that this is their first release for this function.

thats cool to know, defo swaying towards the ghl kit now instead of neptune. makes it a "slightly" more affordable route buying the stand alone now knowing it can integrate when i can afford the profilux controller.
