Are the dosers guaranteed to not back siphon? They come in dual, or do you need to buy two then?

Absolutely guaranteed not to back siphon, these dosers use a quad roller system as apposed to a dual roller system like the Aqua Medics etc. Two rollers are pinching the tubing at all times as compared too one in other even more expensive dosers that are available.

These pumps do not come in dual and need to be bought in pairs or even three if you also choose to dose Magnesium in this fashion. The best timers to use are the digital timers that are adjustable by the minute.

O.C. Also has the timers available online under the "controller / Timer" section.

Just a side note, for those with systems of 300g or more with a large amount of SPS you may be interested in another doser we will have available that has a higher dosage rate. The smart doser would have to be run almost constantly to keep up with very large systems heavy in SPS.

I don't have much info on the up rated dosers as they have not been released yet. Keep in mind you will only need the larger doser if you have a system over 300g and heavy in SPS; otherwise, the smart pump will work fine.
