heading back to dosing from my calcium reactor. I just want stoooopid simple.

So. In all of your opinions. What is the best dosing pump or system for dosing 2 part.

I have an apex, so dos is on the table. Only issue is it only doses 2 chemicals. I could manually dose mag as required.

So fire away. Interested in opinions.

Your title asks for best doser for 2 part. The DOS is perfect for you. I use the DOS for water changes, and a Vertex Libra for Alk Calc, and Mag. Both are SUPER easy to set up, and have proven to be very accurate. It would be nice to see exactly what I'm dosing online with the Apex, particularly if you want to overlap readings to see possible direct affects of certain things, but it's not a deal breaker for me with the Libra. That said, the Libra is a fair bit more expensive than the DOS, AND as I mentioned to you before, there was a member on @AM99 selling brand new DOS containers for a dirty dirty price.

Jebao is not expensive option.
It comes with 4 peristaltic pumps.

Dosers are one of the LAST things I would cheap out on. Asking for trouble. Save a few bucks and find a major malfunction. Sure anything can fail, but likelihood is far greater there, no doubt.

I liek brs... simple things.. power on they turn power off they dont... simple stuff = less likely to screw up. Also with the apex watching your ph as the dose chemicals provides another layer of safety... the DOs does this as well I guess but I am sure they BRS are cheaper:) They do take up an outlet each though.

I've never really liked the all in one units.
