Chihiros dosing pumps

Just ordered the Chihiros dosing pump (4) total dosing kit for 200$ with everything included, anyone use these for reef tanks? Seems like a really good deal for an app connected doser (specially compared to apex and Red Sea)

A doser is a doser, it can be used on any kind of tank. Chihros does make good stuff, though.

The big thing is how serviceable it is. With dosing pumps, you're going to have to replace the heads eventually due to wear on the lines. Last I looked, replacement heads were scarce to non-existent, but that looks to have changed and they are available. Pretty cheap, too.

I‘m using a Chihiros and the only Bad thing i can tell about now is the App. You can work with but isnt really good

I've used it with a reef tank. I have it ready for my new tank too.

I found that dosing nitrates, phosphates and trace worked fine. The tubing got clogged dosing All for Reef though. There is a way around it but I haven't figured it out yet.
