What do you think of the DOS?
Up till now I've been using kalkwasser in my ATO to maintain calc & alk between water changes for two my nano systems. Now that I'm moving to a larger system I'm dreaming of huge colonies of sps and lps with high demands for alk/calc/ and mg... (Stop drooling!). To make a long story short, I am looking to dose a two-part solution with a dosing system. I absolutely love everything the Apex DOS has to offer but the price.
Sniff, sniff... You smell that? The price stinks so if I'm going to drop that much dough on a two-pump dosing system then you guys better make me at least feel good about it!
Other dosing systems in that price range usually come with three or four pumps (not that I need more for dosing two-part when I can dose the mg manually, which is no big deal) while not as accurate or high quality as the DOS pumps, they don't need to be able to dose one drop at a time. Being that I have the Apex controller already I could just use the BRS dosing pumps? But then I don't get all the neat info, features, and options that the DOS offers.
What I really want to know is how the DOS is performing in the real world? If you've got one I'd love to hear about your experience and how long you've been running it. If you have a good "DOS" alternative that won't break the bank let me know why you ended up picking that.
Cheers and don't forget to check how much your alk has dropped this week!
