Last updated: Aug 14, 2023

With a friendly budget in mind, if you are in the market for precision dosing for complex dosing schedules and desire stability for optimal coral growth and health. Then the Red Sea ReefDose would be a highly considerable contender for a significantly versatile, modern, easy to assemble dosing pump that's available for any reefer.

The Pumps

The ReefDose has an easy-to-use interface that allows you to program dosing schedules almost effortlessly. It is quiet, compact, easy to maintain and built with superior quality.

If you like easy maintenance, the dosing pump heads are sturdy and easy to remove, so much so that you can remove and snap them back into place with a firm push; this makes attaching new dosing pump lines or replacing the peristaltic tubing a breeze. Each dosing head has a pair of reverse locking nuts to ensure that the dosing tubes stay firmly in place. Once you remove the dosing head, you'll find a rectangular-shaped peg that is not the typical cylindrical metal rod that helps the motor and head from slipping off the unit itself.

On the ReefDose, you have onboard pushbuttons for dosing head for easy priming your dosing lines. Outside of the unit, you have a solid mounting plate for mounting your dosing pump onto a controller board or check out Red Sea's classy Slide Out Control Panel. You can program your dosing pump to the ReefBeat app on your smart device, which has a user-friendly interface that makes setting up and scheduling quick and easy.

In The Box

In the box, you'll find the ReefDose with a mounting plate already on the back of the unit. In addition, you'll find a glass graduated cylinder to calibrate your ReefDose, a set of mounting screws, a power supply, the user manual, and some dosing labels to be used with your Red Sea supplements or alternate dosing additives.
