Got a chance to look at this at Reef-A-Palooza this weekend, and it is QUIET! I love seeing the way that QD tech is coming to be useful in other applications.

Reef Builders has a good write-up on this: Neptune Systems Launch DOS QD Dosing Pump

Have you gotten to see this in action yet? What are your thoughts?

I saw it...

I like the black and red theme neptune has going....

But i already have 2 Dos's so i don't think i will buy one, and the tank isn't located in a room where silence is required.

But if i need new heads, i'll definitely get these red ones.

Looks cool! I have three regular ones, but if I add a fourth, I’ll get this one. The noise doesn’t bother me with the original DŌS though.

I currently have 3 DOS units but they are located in my fish room in the basement so are not a huge issue (I do here them upstairs from time to time though). However, I am very happy that Neptune seems to be listening to their customers and taking action to address shortcomings. I am heavily invested in the Neptune ecosystem, and have been for some time. I was going though my "Reef Stuff" the other day looking for something and found some older Neptune modules.

However, I have been considering switching to Hydros due to certain Neptune issues. Seeing them trying to improve and address issues makes me feel more comfortable about staying with them. My main issue with Neptune now is the Conductivity probe that has been an issue for them for as long as they have had one. Hydros seems to be trying to find alternative approaches with their HYDROS iV, It would be nice if Neptune would try to come up with a better solution.

Noise isn’t an issue with my DOS pumps, but the continuous duty capability of the new pump is interesting, particularly since my masterflex recently went belly up. I wonder if it uses beefier tubing?

I'm not currently in need of a new doser (just bought one of the F1 Kamoer dosers earlier this year), but I'll probably upgrade to this one when I need new dosers. The Kamoer ones are just fine, but I hate being forced to pull out my phone to program them. Only reason I stayed away from the original DOS was because of the noise, so if these are reliable and quiet, they'll get my next purchase.
