Hydros Sole dosing pump experience

[Alexander1312]

I am curious if anyone has tried the (new) Hydros dosing pump 'Sole', and how the performance holds up compared to cheaper options such as the Ecotech Versa.

HYDROS Sole

The HYDROS Sole is an aquarium controller hybrid with a heavy-duty liquid dosing pump designed for continuous dosing applications like controlling effluent in a calcium reactor, kalkwasser additions, dosing liquid foods, feeding a sulfur reactor, and performing water changes.

I thought I had posted about this but I guess it was just rantings in my group text.

I have been using two now for a couple weeks, I’ll share my thoughts in tank journal. The connectors suck but the precision is excellent - that’s the summary.

Took me a bit to find this in your journal, so post here for next time.

The battle rages on between this big chalice and monti. But I think I have to finally deal with it - the monti is about to start climbing up the base of the acro behind it, and the chalice is about to start shading the little mille behind it. The plan is to pull the rock out (it's loose - I...

Hydros forum references to solve the tube connection issue.

Sole lights etc.

I'm using the Sole and like it but trying to learn more about it. Two questions 1. What is the meaning of the mode led when flashing green or solid blue. 2. What does the tab in the app "unkink tubing" for and do. Thanks
