Designed as a dedicated dosing solution, the Dosetronic DC helps reef keepers maintain alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, and other supplemented parameters without manually measuring and adding liquids throughout the day. It combines independent dosing schedules, app-based controls, and integration with the Alkatronic and Mastertronic systems in a more accessible alternative to the Dosetronic PRO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReliable Five-Pump Dosing for Everyday Reef Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dosetronic DC uses five independently controlled peristaltic dosing pumps with durable Pharmed pump tubing. Each channel can be configured for a different solution, allowing aquarium owners to automate a multi-part supplementation method or assign pumps to other liquid additives appropriate for their reef system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor aquariums with increasing coral consumption, distributing supplements across multiple dosing events can provide more consistent replenishment than manually adding the entire daily amount in one dose. The Dosetronic DC allows each solution to be scheduled according to the aquarium's individual requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive independent dosing channels:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automate multiple aquarium additives using independently configured pumps and dosing schedules.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision peristaltic pumps:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed for accurate liquid delivery with 0.1 ml resolution and approximately ±0.1 ml specified accuracy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCustom dosing schedules:\u003c\/strong\u003e Choose the daily amount and distribution of individual dosing events to match aquarium consumption.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmart Schedule Generator:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simplifies schedule creation by distributing dosing over a 24-hour period, including adjustments for the aquarium photoperiod.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupplement management:\u003c\/strong\u003e Track dosing amounts, configure container volumes, and receive supported refill and dosing alerts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManual dosing and calibration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Prime, calibrate, and operate pumps individually through the Focustronic app.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntegrates with Alkatronic for Automatic KH Corrections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dosetronic DC is more than a conventional timed dosing pump when paired with a compatible Focustronic Alkatronic or Alkatronic Professional. Alkalinity measurements can be used to adjust the dosing process, helping the system respond to changing consumption rather than relying exclusively on a fixed daily schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlkatronic Mode:\u003c\/strong\u003e Compatible dosing channels can respond to corrective actions initiated by Alkatronic, including additional doses or skipped doses.

These advanced functions require the appropriate Focustronic testing equipment, which is available separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Dedicated Alternative to the Dosetronic PRO\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dosetronic DC is intended for aquarists who need scheduled supplement delivery and Focustronic testing integration without the additional pumping functions of the PRO model. It is particularly well suited to standard two-part or three-part dosing methods, balanced reef supplementation systems, and other applications requiring multiple independently programmed liquid additives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the Dosetronic PRO, the DC model does not provide the PRO's automatic water change or continuous reactor dosing modes. Reef keepers planning to automate saltwater exchanges or operate a calcium reactor using continuous pump control should consider the Dosetronic PRO instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications and Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary function:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automated liquid supplement dosing for reef aquariums.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of pumps:\u003c\/strong\u003e Five independent peristaltic dosing pumps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePump tubing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Durable Pharmed tubing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosing accuracy:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately ±0.1 ml.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDosing resolution:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 ml.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wi-Fi, cloud services, and Focustronic app control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMobile support:\u003c\/strong\u003e iOS and Android.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating modes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standalone dosing and compatible automated dosing correction through Focustronic testing equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible systems:\u003c\/strong\u003e Focustronic Alkatronic, Alkatronic Professional, and Mastertronic Essential for supported functions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate footprint:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220 x 140 mm (8.66 x 5.51 inches), length x width.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDirections\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePosition the Dosetronic DC on a stable, level surface or install it using the supplied wall mount, keeping it protected from splashing and accessible for maintenance. Connect the individual dosing hoses to their supplement containers and aquarium delivery points. Download the Focustronic app, complete Wi-Fi setup, and assign the appropriate supplement to each pump. Prime the tubing and calibrate each pump using the manufacturer's procedure before entering dosing schedules. When linking the unit to Alkatronic or Mastertronic, configure the corresponding integration settings and confirm that the connected devices communicate correctly. Check dosing amounts regularly and recalibrate after tubing replacement or changes to the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFocustronic Dosetronic DC five-channel dosing unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal dosing hoses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWall mounting bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick start guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Focustronic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67647236210778,"sku":"FT-CDDC","price":889.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/1636\/7450\/files\/dosetronic-dc-1.png?v=1791927295","url":"https:\/\/jlaquatics.com\/products\/focustronic-dosetronic-dc","provider":"J\u0026L Aquatics Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
