How to setup the 4-Part Program

[@coochjaquint615]

I calibrated the 4 heads. When I try to set up the dosing on Head 1, the "Recommendation" shown at 3:30 in this video doesn't appear. Why is the recommendation not appearing on my app?

Make sure that you specify that the product you are using is "4parts" on the supplements name in the previous step. Contact our support or ask our FB community for a quick walk through.

Can’t wait for mine to arrive in store, any sneak peaks on what else you’ve got for us this year? Really wanting a Red Sea fish feeder that links in with Reefbeat

[@Redseafish]

Thank you for commenting. No fish feeder on the agenda, but we took note of your request.

“I currently have two Red Sea 4 dosing pumps for my reef aquarium. I’m running the 7 Elements and NO3:PO4-X, but I plan to switch to the new ‘4-part, 1-part dosing’ supplements, which will free up three of my dosing heads. I’ve looked into this and calculated how much I use from each bottle and how long it lasts. After breaking down the costs per 100ml, I found that the new 4-bottle program is about 25% cheaper where I live. The three main benefits for me are that it costs less, frees up three dosing heads, and allows me to replace all the bottles at the same time. Currently, I have to replace them at random intervals, as they are consumed at different rates. What should I run on the other three dosing pumps? I was thinking of running Reef Energy Plus on one of the dosing heads, but it requires refrigeration after opening, which is less than ideal.”

That's great. Thanks for commenting. The other RD4 can be used for NOPOX and Energy Plus. You can hold a 7 day dose without refrigeration. Check out the Energy Plus tips and tricks for optimal use. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bILPYYWjm86oqJI

Love it but would love to hear more about the science. I was also looking at price on various sites, and the cost ratio seems high. I love the idea of less maintenance and tank-watching, but I don't want to pay as if I am running a small public aquarium.

[@Redseafish]

It's the same or better price as the 7 parts, it's just less bottles.

will these new settings affect or maintain current dkh

[@Redseafish]

Yes, based on out recipe of course.

If i have 2 2 head red sea pumps can i still use this?

[@Redseafish]

Yes, you will need to program them individually though. The 1 correction dose all feature will not work.

[@leroycline8849]

@Redseafish ok is there a way I will know how much of each to dose?

[@Redseafish]

Yes, the calculation is based on how much Ca your corals take. If you know how much they take you can calculate the Ca dose and base the rest off that. Go to out website and check out the manual if you don't know exactly how much Ca is taken out per day. g1.redseafish.com/support/manuals/products/complete-reef-care-4-part/tabs/files/manuals/

[@TheZuuz]

Are there any independent individuals who have already done a review (with testing) of this?

[@Redseafish]

It's the same as the 7 parts which is already being used by a ton of hobbyists. It's a simpler to use delivery method which just got to the shops so we highly doubt there is. We have been using it for years on out lab and office tanks as well as a few testers around the world.
