This hyper focused approach to additive dosing is apparent not only in the features and functions of the ReefDose but it is also reflected in the accompanying accessories of colored tubing, tubing organizers and line holders that help to streamline the experience of using the Red Sea dosing pump.īefore we installed and programmed the ReefDose 4 on one of our test tanks, we took a long deep look to examine the construction of the Red Sea ReefDose finding most of its components to be put together in an above average but otherwise prosaic assembly. While many other dosing pumps have aimed to be the ultimate utility pump to perform a wide range of functions, it’s actually quite refreshing that with the ReefDose Red Sea kept their focus on a building a peristaltic dosing pump fine tuned for metering minute amounts of fluids.

It might come as a surprise to some reefers that the ReefDose is not designed for automatic water changes, it can’t perform auto top off of evaporated water, or anything other than managing reef aquarium chemistry. It’s been over three years since the ReefDose was first revealed at InterZoo 2018 and while it’s taken Red Sea a really long time to bring this dosing pump system to market, it seems that Red Sea has completely nailed a peristaltic dosing pump specifically geared for precise and accurate dosing of chemical aquarium additives. In addition to their tanks and additives Red Sea has been diligently filling out their catalog of reef aquarium gear to create a nearly complete ecosystem of aquarium devices which already include the Reefer Skimmer, ReefWave Water Pump, ReefLED multichip aquarium light, and is now practically complete with the release of the ReefDose 2 & 4 dosing pump system.

The Red Sea ReefDose 2 and ReefDose 4 are the long awaited fluid dosing systems from the aquarium hobby’s leading producer of premium glass aquarium setups.
