    I would say it's very unlikely for these peristaltic dosers to become stuck on. I've also found them to be quite accurate after calibration (which is built into the controller). The defects I had were manufacturing defects, where the dosing heads weren't installed correctly (backwards?) or the...

    I bought a Jebao DP-4. They are cheap, but get the job done. The first one I bought only had 2 out of 4 dosing heads working, but I bought another one that has had zero defects. They can be had on Amazon for $69 now (I paid $75)...

    Hornberson Reef - DSA 90 gallon mixed reef

    They are green mandarins, the most common ones you see. They've been a breeding pair for about 7 months now. They initially only ate live copepods, which live in our tank/sump until they eat them all. We replenish more live copepods every month or two. Now they also eat frozen zooplankton...
