Dosing pump Pro
Best practice of coral feeding for advanced and novice hobbyists
After cycling your aquarium and stabilizing the parameters, the next most important cyclic task – is feeding your corals with all the needed components, minerals and elements.
Overfeeding or incorrect feeding habbits – that’s #3 most frequent reasons why novice reef keepers loose their corals.
Dosing pump Pro series comes as an answer to that problem. When it comes to dosing liquids into a marine aquarium, there are no compromises and that’s precisely what Reef Factory Dosing pump Pro offers.
The new Dosing Pump Pro series is an innovative and highly refined dosing pump for marine aquariums. It allows for precise dosing of minerals, trace elements and other supplements into the aquarium. The quiet, bi-directional stepper motor offers a range of entirely new possibilities. The proprietary, ultra-accurate Reef Factory pumps are an excellent way to take dosing in a marine aquarium to the next level.
Automation
The Dosing Pump Pro is an essential part of the Smart Reef 360 method – a modern approach to managing a marine aquarium. Using the Smart Reef application, you can set up a series of automatic actions that facilitate daily care for the best condition of your tank. The Smart Reef application will analyze measurements taken by the KH Keeper Plus or Smart Tester, and if it detects a low level of a tested parameter in the aquarium, it will send a precise dosing command to the pump. This action happens completely automatically!
Peristaltic pumps:
The Dosing Pump Pro X4 operates based on completely new proprietary peristaltic pumps developed by the Reef Factory team. Their design is tailored to meet a range of requirements expected from devices dedicated to marine aquariums. They are characterized by high dosing precision and an extended period of trouble-free operation thanks to the highest quality components. Additionally, they are very quiet.

Stability of parameters in a saltwater aquarium is crucial. One of the important areas is water chemistry, where the Dosing pump Pro plays a significant role. In a saltwater aquarium, it is often assumed that all elements are consumed evenly. This means that a change in Kh level suggests parallel changes in other parameters, such as calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), potassium (K), strontium (Sr), iodine (I), boron (B), and others.
An increase in Kh consumption is usually associated with increased consumption of these other elements. In the Smart Reef app, in the ‘Actions’ section, there is the option to integrate Kh Keeper Plus with a dosing pump system. As a result, if the aquarium uses components consisting of three bottles, Kh keeper Plus can be connected with three dosing pumps. We then set a dependency where a change in the Kh level in the aquarium (increase or decrease) causes the Smart Reef app to automatically adjust the next dose on the dosing pumps.
This is a mechanism for dosing components aimed at maintaining a stable chemical state of the water. Based on the Kh measurements, we influence the value of the next dose on the dosing pumps, which allows for the automation of the process of maintaining the appropriate chemical parameters in the aquarium.
