Can anyone tell me what size the replacement tubing is for INSIDE the DP-4?

 

[ReefCowboy]

Love this doser. Have been using it for over a year now.

 

[Claeth]

anyone know what size pinch tube to use on these units?

 

[acropora213]

Hi guys love the info here, as I just ordered mine tonight.
Now I wait....

I'm having trouble finding those threads or links showing how and what's needed for simple no cost reservoirs. Like gallon jugs with a hole in the cap and some extra tubing.

Can you please help out? Thanks ~ Tony

Any glass or NSF grade plastic jugs/jars should work. The tall storage jugs you get at the grocery stores work great.
If your looking for no cost you can get some gallon water jugs from a friend or neighbor

Is this capable of pushing fluid up, i.e., can you put the dosing pumps below the tank/waterline to where you are dosing?

Are you guys liking your jebaos? Still accurate? Heard some sketch things about these pumps.

ReefTankHunter how long have you had your unit? And have you ever experienced any issues with the unit during a lighting/thunderstorm when the power goes out from the storms?

Thinking about this unit especially in light of the "new version being released" alternative is a bubble magnus I guess but the price on this is crazy low and I would like to have the extra channel as I want to dose CA, ALK, MG and have this crazy idea to try to use the extra channel to pull skimmate out of my cup. Anyone order and receive the new version?

Lol, interesting idea with the skim removal! Lol, honestly,I may try it when I have a few minutes to play around.. Though, my only problem would be the gunk may clog it up..

 

[sean357]

That's what i'm worried about as well, its just that my skimmer cup is relatively difficult to remove and though its not really a problem for me I worry about it when i'm out of town and have other people looking after my tank. With a gravity drain I worry that if for some reason my skimmer overflowed the container would overflow. This could prevent it. Anyway looks like I'm going to order one so will give my impressions when it gets set up.

I hear you loud and clear. My skimmer collection cop is damn near impossible also. The line is so thin on these. Though, I'm pushing a concentrated kalk through it fine. But skim gets really chunky fast. But at the same time,I have been successfully pulling mine with an airline for months on end once a week. However, that line comes off every time, with the suction being started with a bulb..

I don't know dude, try it when you receive yours and please let me know. I just don't trust it, as I have very bad luck.. Lol

 

[DodgerBlu]

Any one know how much head height this pump pushes?

[ericarenee]

Best thing to do is test it for couple of weeks...i bought one last week, set it up, mock dosing for two weeks..im planning to run it on a timer since it keeps the settings..just in case

Add a float valve to trigger the skimmer off. Flooded my floor many times until I made this under 10.00 fix.
