The cheapest 4 channels I think is Jebao and heard lots of poor review about it ... in terms of its accuracy in delivering accurate dose.

The tendency is it overdose and I don't want that ... it's so scary to come home and find the tank water is fully saturated with liquids of Mg, Ca, Alk and NoPox.

From memory, I did my research, Jebao DP-4 cost around $190 AUD delivered from fish street.

Who use dosing pump and what brand/model?

Do you like or hate it?

Kamoer 4 channel, probably the best investment I have made.

 

[Wrangy]

Kamoer is the best bang for buck doser you will get. Simply because it's the cheapest you can get while still being an absolute rock solid doser, mine ran just about 3 without a single hitch! I upgraded to a Pacific Sun Kore 5th doser instead though and love that to bits! GHL also make killer dosers too.

Go kamoer if you want the cheapest. Don't bother with anything else

Guppy has special: 3 plus 4 for $400.

But what am gonna do with 7 channels?

Kamoer for me as well - trouble free for a few years.

Depends if you want to dose other things - I suspect that 3 channels would suffice for most people.

You could feed three types of phyto plankton with the rest of the channels.

I think I can live without a dosing pump for a bit longer, but when I do go down that track I'm looking at a Kamoer F05X. Mainly because I'm interested in the auto water change feature but can't justify the cost of a litermeter or stenner pump.

I might be missing out but prefer to be without a dosing pump in favour of calcium reactor.

+1 for the Kamoer

I brought a spare master and slave about 5 years back because Im in so much trouble when they break down and my originals have still yet to miss a beat.

The Alk head has pushed through nearly 500l and when I did a calbration on it has only shifted 6% after all that time

 

[potatocouch]

Top top rep for kamoer

I pulled one down against a bubble magnus a few years back if you want to see the guts of them

It's a shame the Jeboa has been given a few bad raps. I've had one for a couple of years and it hasn't missed a beat.
