Chihiros Dosing Pump Mate

The Chihiros Dosing Pump Mate is a two-channel automatic dosing pump that adds liquid fertiliser to the aquarium on a set schedule. The unit is controlled with the My Chihiros app.

It is intended for freshwater planted aquariums, so that nutrients are supplied evenly without dosing by hand.

Each dosing head is programmed separately and can take its own liquid fertiliser. The daily dose per head is 0.2–999.9 ml and can be set in 0.1 ml steps. There is a delay between the channels that keeps incompatible solutions from mixing in the aquarium. With a battery fitted, the unit keeps its settings during a power cut and adds the missed doses once power returns. The battery is not included.

Mount the unit on a flat surface near the aquarium and leave enough room for the fertiliser bottles. The compact unit also fits inside a cabinet. The app guides you through setup, calibration and scheduling.
