    I have a 215 saltwater aquarium and am in need of some suggestions from you guys and gals who are way more experienced than I am and I don't want to make an expensive mistake.

    I need a new inline chiller and a new doser to dose calcium and alkaline and have no idea which manufacturers I should look at. Both pieces of equipment are expiring and outdated. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for any help/suggestions you can offer.

    I was looking at the JBJ line when I was contemplating upgrading. I ended up getting mine recharged so for now it stays. Old Aquanetics is so loud.

    I just picked up the new jebao doser with 4 heads for like 120$ sofar I like it. If a pump breaks its easy and cheap to replace a head. It resembles the GHL doser at 1/5 the price. But if you have money to burn the best one is probably GHL doser. Do you know what kind of tank you plan to make? It helps to plan for what you want. It can be expensive if you decide to go from a softie to a stony tank. If theres any possibility you might want to do sps corals plan it early. Id strongly recommend ATI powermodule t5 lighting and a vertex alpha series skimmer.
