Automated and Precise Coral Tank Dosing... Controller-Free Solution - Red Sea ReefDose
Red Sea's ReefDose Dosing Pumps are designed to cater to the needs of reef aquarium hobbyists, offering precision, compatibility with the broader Red Sea reef system, and a user-friendly design.
Key Features and Advantages
The ReefDose pumps provide an accurate dosing capability, automating and precisely controlling the delivery of essential supplements for reef health. This feature supports programs like Red Sea's 4-part Complete Reef Care Supplement Program.
Integration with Red Sea's ecosystem is another notable advantage. The ReefDose pumps are designed to complement Red Sea's lighting, dosing, filtration, and auto top-off systems, allowing hobbyists to maintain optimal water conditions efficiently.
The ReefDose models can be incorporated into organizational setups like Red Sea’s slide-out control panel, which optimizes cabinet space and provides easy access to dosing pumps and other controllers.
Versatility is another strength of the ReefDose pumps. They are capable of dosing multiple liquid supplements simultaneously, adaptable for various reef care regimens and tank sizes, enhancing the control and customization of marine aquarium maintenance.
Additional Setup Aids
Additional setup aids like the slide-out control panel enhance the usability of ReefDose pumps by providing an organized, accessible mounting space with marine-spec materials and soft-close sliders.
The ReefDose Pump and Accessories
Each ReefDose box contains the pump with a mounting plate, a glass graduated cylinder, mounting screws, a power supply, the user manual, and dosing labels. The dosing pump heads are sturdy and easy to remove.
Each dosing head on the ReefDose has a pair of reverse locking nuts to ensure stability. The ReefDose 2 and 4 Dosing Pumps have 3 dosing flow rates: Whisper 15ml/min, Regular 30ml/min, Turbo 45 ml/min.
Programming and Control
The ReefDose can be programmed to the ReefBeat app on a smart device. The app presents a coordinated list of doses scheduled for all heads in the Dose Queue. It allows customizing the dosing program schedule to run every day or on certain days of the week.
The ReefBeat App also provides notifications and alerts of missed doses, keeps tabs on when reservoirs need to be refilled with the volume monitor, and allows setting a dosing head to "Food Head" to dose liquid foods.
The ReefBeat App keeps a record of supplement volumes per hour for up to 30 days in the Dose Log. The ReefDose has onboard pushbuttons for priming dosing lines.
The ReefDose 2 and 4 Dosing Pumps have automatic dose compensation for doses missing due to power loss, and an automatic delay between the heads to prevent chemical interaction. They also feature single drop accuracy dosing heads and 4 easy-set, smart dosing options for each head.
