I'm thinking of buying one. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts about them?

you'll get a fair number of comments about them with a search. Here's one review.

I ended going with another doser, but for the longest time the BM was on the top of my list.

Thanks for the link mark.

I read up on marine magic and baby fish (ebay) auto dosers and wasn't convinced enough to buy one.

I've had a Bubble Magus doser for about 6 months now, it's a bit noisy(but only runs a few seconds at a time) but is very easy to program and has been very reliable, I am very happy with it.

I received my doser a couple of days ago and was very excited until I seen the tamper sticker had been cut. The doser looks brand new but I want warranty. I contacted the seller and he said he'll replace it. He's from Cali, fml. I have my fingers crossed.

that's a bummer, i got mine at BRS, i try to purchase all my big ticket items in canada now in case of a warranty issue, luckily i've only had one, a hanna phosphate checker that i threw in the garbage.

good luck

I contacted the seller and he's going to replace it. Sending it back COD.

They have better price, but shipping is expensive and delivery time is few weeks though.

Did anyone try this one ?

bubble magus comes with a 1 year warranty. I've looked into the other one posted and I'm sure it doesn't come with a warranty.

I should add that the doser was in mint condition and still had the protective covering on the screen. I even turned on the pump to test run it and it worked perfectly. It seems like some internal parts were replaced perhaps it was refurbished.

Does anybody know how long the cable is that goes from the main unit to the expansion BM-T02? How are people dosing their second tank? Are they purchasing a 2nd system for it?
