Dosing & Smart Control

Chihiros Smart Dosing System

App controlBluetoothMy Chihiros

Consistency is what separates a stable, algae-free planted tank from a lurching one — and no human doses macro, micro and carbon supplements at 9am every single day. The Smart Dosing System does. Choose two or four peristaltic heads, program each channel’s volume and schedule in the My Chihiros app, and let the pump keep your ferts as regular as your light cycle. The app even watches your reservoir levels and warns you three days before a supplement runs dry.

In detail

Set-and-forget fertiliser dosing with app schedules and a running countdown of how many days of supplement remain.

A schedule that never sleeps in

Each head is an independent channel with its own liquid, volume and calendar. Daily micros, alternate-day macros, a weekly bacterial dose — every line runs its own program, silently, from the cabinet.

It knows when you’re running low

Tell the app what is in each container and it counts down the days of dosing left on your current schedule, flagging each supplement three days before it runs out. Refill day stops being a surprise inspection.

Built to pair with the whole bench

The system uses fine 2/4 mm dosing line (not the 4/6 mm hose of generic pumps) for accurate small doses above 50 ml/min flow, and it clicks together with Chihiros dosing containers, magnetic stirrers and tube holders into one tidy dosing station.

Frequently asked questions

Should I get the 2-head or 4-head doser?

Count your liquids. Daily macro and micro fertiliser fit a 2-head; add liquid carbon and a bacterial supplement and you want the 4-head. Each head is an independent channel with its own volume and calendar.

Does it use standard airline tubing?

No — it runs fine 2/4 mm dosing line (not 4/6 mm airline) for accurate small doses. The Chihiros tube holder kit and colour-coded silicone set are made for it.

How do I know when a supplement is running out?

Tell the My Chihiros app what is in each container and it counts down the days remaining on your schedule, warning you three days before a channel runs dry.
