Naming
If you are using Red Sea supplements, simply select from the drop-down list. If not, select “other” and enter a
supplement name of your choice. Please note that the first 3 letters of the name will be used to present this
supplement in the dosing log.
The information provided for the “other” supplements will automatically be added to your supplement library.
Priming
Priming fills the dosing tube with the supplement from the container to the tip of the dosing tube. Make sure
that the supplement is at the end of the outlet dosing tube before proceeding to the calibration.
The head can be primed either by pressing and holding the priming button on the device or by pressing
“Start” / “Stop” priming buttons in the App. To prevent accidents, the priming button in the App switches
off automatically after approximately 20ml which should be enough time to fill about 3m (10’) of tubing. If
necessary, you can restart the priming from the App as required.
ReefDose - head setup & calibration
Each individual dosing head needs to be set up before it can be used. The setup process for each head
includes defining the supplement and calibrating the head for that specific supplement. Calibration is
essential due to the varying viscosity of different supplements and the small differences in the components
of each head.
The calibration sets the exact volume of supplement that is dosed by each of the 3 rollers of the dosing
head and is normally in the range of 0.06 to 0.07 ml per roller.
In order for your head to work accurately, it must be calibrated the first time you use it to dose a new
supplement, then re-calibrated each time you replace the heads’ internal dosing tube. The accuracy of
the calibration will determine the accuracy of the dosing and therefore it is important to do this process
correctly. After initial head setup, each head can be recalibrated at any time either from the Head Setup
page or from the 3dots menu of the ReefDose dashboard
