Red Sea Reef Dose : Installation

Cam is back at Gallery Aquatica Wynnum, to install a Red Sea Reefdose 4 onto Anias Stash tank in preparation for the refugium she has always wanted!

At (about) 8:00 you show the content of the RS Doser Accessory Kit - including the Red Nipples. Later on at (about) 9:00 you didn't use them and at the end (not shown) you would still have had parts left to install (that's a clue) e.g. the Red Nipples? The Coral Food, is good but needs to be stored in a fridge, so installing a 4th Channel would require some additional consideration e.g. decanting from a bigger bottle (kept in the fridge). The App has some useful features for deciding what happens after certain events e.g. missed dose. Also for staggering the doses e.g. at 10, 20, 30 past the hour over 24 hours, or all at once, etc. The calibration step really needs to be done accurately as the Manual suggests because dosing is always going to depend upon how well this was done - otherwise you can just guess 4.3ml and be done. Some other key points not mentioned: using a second doser e.g. for Trace Elements and removing the heads e.g. to reorder the order without needing to drain, flush and calibrate again and the clips - keep the output behind the input tubes and don't tighten the tops - air in allows product to come out... the best feature (for me) is that the speed of delivery (vs noise) can be selected and RS list their own (and other Manufacturer's) Products in the lists for easy Set Up - they might even have optimised the settings for each one? Overall it is (like most of the other RS Products) well thought through and nice to use kit.

Happy new year Cam and Ania! Just to mention briefly for others that the instructions tell you to secure the tubing to the dosing head a little differently - see kzbin.info/www/bejne/eamZf59uiLCfrqs. You probably also discovered that the sump dosing tube holder comes with red nipples that you connect the tubing to.

I usually like to avoid instructions the first time I play with a new piece of gear, but maybe I should have had a look at this first😂 Thanks for the link. Cam

[@jamesstock7882]

Can you please make video on the red sea app for the doser because i cant save my first head which is calcium it says how many ml in bottle i put 1000ml but still cant save that? Can you help pls😊

Dosing is so straightforward nowadays, The App’s make’s using these systems so much easier than the years gone by, I personally have the DD Pro4 but they all follow the same format. Great vid once again keep them coming.

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Thanks Stephen! We haven’t got the DD Pro4 available here yet but I’ll be keen to try it when it is. Cam

Gooday cam and team, the stash tank is coming along great 👍...love what you guys do keep it up ! Greetings from up and over.

Thanks for watching😊 Cam

This is a great 👍 series on Anias stash tank, looking 👀 forward to the video on her refugium setup. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

How are those red sea ReefLEDs doing for coral growth? Would you choose those over Radion XR15 G5 Blues? I'm on the fence between the 2 lights...

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

We use Radions on more new tank builds than anything else, however the Red Seas are great. The coral growth in Anias Stash Tank is really good and the colour they put out is nice. I usually make the choice based on what other equipment I’m using, as I like to run different components from the same brand on tanks. Anias Stash has Red Sea lights, doser and wavemaker so it all works together brilliantly. Cam

[@sadshxnobi]

I just received my ReefDose 4. Can't wait to get it setup.

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

You’ll be happy to know it’s possibly the easiest doser ever to set up😊

[@jczetroc8144]

Thanks for this great video. Just bought the Reef Doser and feel confident in setting up now! Cheers

[@danieliborio]

Nice Vid, waiting for the refugium!! Cheers

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

The refugium is the next video!

[@joshua_w]

Reef setup is looking great. Keen to see how the fuge is done. Will this get the reef mat too?

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Good question. I look forward to seeing exactly how they work and how easily they’re installed. So far what I’ve seen is good and I’d love to try one. Cam

[@bopeep7806]

Nice :) you should be adding the redsea slide out controller board too on this epic build !!

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

That’s a very good idea😊

[@teereefer1276]

Excellent video but check the yellow tubing when you pulled it I seen a little hole

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Good spotting! Yes I made a hole but fixed it off-camera. Cam

[@teereefer1276]

Top video guys. Looking forward to seeing you setup a fuge. Currently having issues with other algaes besides chaeto in mine. Also interested to see what you guys do about the light spill
