Loving my new Jebao doser!

So I have been dosing manually for a month or so trying to keep my Alk, and calcium levels stable for the SPS corals we have added to the tank. This got old real fast and I started looking at dosers. Finally decided to order the jebao doser, mostly because of the four heads and low price point. Got it, downloaded instructions off the internet, (ones that came with it were brutal), calibrated it, and programmed it to dose six times what I had been dosing manually once per day. Second day testing and levels look stable. A doser is sure a nice piece of equip to have for a reef tank. Set it and let it do its thing. Much easier than daily manually dosing. Love it.

I have a magic marine doser and was thinking about replacing it. Happy to hear this!

I recently got one too and have no complaints. When running, the pump is quite noisy but because it only runs for a few seconds at once, it doesn't bother me.

One of the pumps acts as an ATO although it's not recommended because it wears down the pump..but my tank isn't large so I don't think it's too harmful. It pumps 70ml of FW/hr.

I tried to search for information on how much is too much to pump at once but didn't get any results. Anybody know the answer?

Found this pretty neat:
