Bubbles Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Hi there, im looking at getting a better dosing pump to replace my Jeabo (POS) dosing pump, and wondering if anyone has had time using or is using this doser. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I've used it before and it completely destroyed my 280g tank. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 What do you mean by it destroyed your tank? Did the doser overdose, or did it get misprogrammed? Was it the Stepper model or the dc motor one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it the Stepper model or the dc motor one? It was a dc motor. Apparently the firmware had some issues and it dosed all three components into the tank over night. That was five gallon batches of Alk, ca, and mag. I lost all but one fish. Lost my entire coral collection as well. Vertex replaced the doser but sold the brand new unit I received. I believed they have discontinued the libra. Make sure you have the latest firmware and hopefully they addressed those isues. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you were willing to share your experience despite how painful it was. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
