I have been useing the Libra now for 3 months . easy to program and adjust . as well as doing a quick dose , you can tell it exactly how much to do a spot dose.

do my testing once a week and If i feel the doseing amounts need to change . i can change them in seconds . love it .

If you do decide to go for a Libra be for warned the DC model is very loud IMO.

I also have never heard anything bad about the GHL dosers and those can be found and really good prices

I use the BRS dosers and have for about 6 months now. Picked them up given their cheap cost packaged with bulk supplies, and for a relatively more inexpensive way to try dosing on a big system. So far I have no complains, they work well with my controller, the RKE. I use 4 dosers currently; Mg, Ca, dKH, and vodka or clam food.

I use the BRS dosers. Easy to set up, inexpensive, quiet and reliable.

I've got no complaints.

i would love it if the ghl doser allowed you to do a spot dose! standing there and holding the button down for a minute or more takes forever! well... a minute (sometimes more).

let's say you want to on-the-spot add say 60mL to make a larger adjustment to the reef.
