Looks like bubble magus has a stepper dosing head, the ts4. Has anyone tried it? The price point doesn't seem too bad, I'm just curious how loud it is?

I'm looking for a cheaper single head dosing pump for my kalkwasser.
i had heard it ran before and you can definitely hear it slightly running. Personally I would pay a little more for the Ecotech Versa for the customer support and warranty. I’m planning to get the 4 pack unit for the Versa to do all my dosing. (Alk, CA, acro power, and Kalk)

That's true, only a difference of 50 bucks. I know people gripe about the mobius app and radions but it was never all that bad for me when I ran them. Maybe that's the way to go, thanks Tommy

I have the TS4. It works really well, but is definitely on the louder side. It also beeps every time you turn it on, so can be extremely annoying if you have it dosing every 15min like I do. I put a dab of silicone on the hardware that beeps and this has thankfully quieted it significantly.

I use my own dosing scheduler/programming, so a versa wasn't really an option for me.

You would need to have a local store order it for you, but check out the Sentia Dose by Aquavitro. You can have a single primary unit and then add on secondary units. It's what I'm using on my nano build, but I'm replacing my GHL with a set of these on my 90g. The app is super easy to use and you can get a primary and secondary for the price of one versa.

The Mobius app have some issue with connectivity a couple months ago, but Ecotech had addressed the issue. On occasionally Mobius would act up and kick you out, but not as bad as before with the latest updates.

Here is my email to customer support and reponse from them. 😂

That looks pretty perfect right there. I like that I could add on later easily. What shop did you order yours through?

ha! Well that's good they fixed it. When I ran my radions I didnt change much/or have to log in often. If it was a pump or doser I could see that being a real pain in that ass

I'll text you the info, but I got mine from Elliot at Golden State Corals. He's getting me another set now, so I'll see if they have more?
