Default Bubble Magus Doser Review

Just had the Bubble Magus triple doser package sent out to me from the guys @ Oceanic Corals so I thought I would give a little insight to those interested in purchasing it.

I bought it for a couple reasons, mainly because with my high coral load I want to make sure all of my summer vacations are "dosing" free for my tank sitter. Parameter consistency and system simplicity were the other two large factors but the low price that Oceanic was offering sold me nice and quick.

We had a bit of a shipping issue (Apparently you need an "Address" to ship product haha ) but Ian was great to deal with and actually paid for expedited delivery to my doorstep after my mistake. Packaging was very well put together and everything showed up in perfect condition.

The two part mixing instructions were very easy to follow but it would be nice if they indicated mixing Calcium Chloride with water creates lots of heat (I should of understood that being in second year university chem but either way I ended up warping my mixing jug a little).

The instructions for the Magus had me laughing pretty hard (and it had "nothing" to do with my bong ), I kept trying to re-read it and after 5 minutes I felt a little retarded. The Cantonese to English translation made some pretty hilarious mistakes (I will post a few when I get home). Luckily the unit is actually so easy to program you really don't even need instructions. I let the solutions sit for 24 hours, wired all the dosing tubes and programmed the doser.

The unit itself is sleek, quite and very easy to conceal and all in all I'm one happy customer. Photos to come when I get my camera charged.
