Doser & Pump – FAQ

Are dosing pumps safe for beginner hobbyists?

Yes. Modern dosing pumps are easy to set up, with pre-programmed schedules, mobile apps, and safety cut-offs. PetCentral UAE offers beginner-friendly models with step-by-step calibration.

How do I choose the right pump size for my aquarium?

Consider:

  • Tank size (liters)
  • Desired turnover rate (typically 5–10× per hour)
  • Tank type (reef, freshwater, planted)

    Product descriptions at PetCentral UAE include flow-rate recommendations for easy selection.
What is the difference between a wavemaker and a return pump?

A wavemaker creates side-to-side flow inside the tank, mimicking ocean currents, while a return pump provides constant vertical circulation from the sump. Both are essential for reef tanks to prevent dead spots and improve coral health.

What is a return pump and why is it important?

A return pump circulates water from the sump back into the aquarium. It ensures:

  • Proper filtration
  • Better oxygenation
  • Stable water movement
  • Healthy coral and fish behavior
How many channels should a dosing pump have?

It depends on your tank’s needs:

  • 1–2 channels: Basic fertilizers or additives
  • 3–4 channels: Reef tanks requiring Ca, Mg, KH, and trace dosing
  • 5+ channels: Advanced systems with numerous supplement types

    PetCentral UAE offers dosing pumps for all tank setups.
What type of dosing pump is best for reef tanks?

Reef systems require multi-channel, programmable dosing pumps that accurately deliver calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, and trace elements. PetCentral UAE offers reef-safe dosing pumps with smartphone control, auto-calibration, and high precision for stable reef chemistry.

Do I need a dosing pump for a freshwater aquarium?

Freshwater tanks that have live plants or CO₂ systems benefit from dosing pumps, as they help deliver liquid fertilizers consistently. For simple fish-only tanks, dosing pumps are optional.

What is a dosing pump and why is it used in aquariums?

A dosing pump is an automated device that adds nutrients, supplements, and water conditioners into your aquarium at precise intervals. It helps maintain stable levels of calcium, magnesium, alkalinity, fertilizers, and trace elements, making it essential for reef tanks and planted aquariums.
