Description
The Red Sea ReefDose 4 is the natural step up from the ReefDose 2 for reefers running more than two additives — or anyone who wants a dedicated fourth channel for liquid coral food, trace elements, or a fourth-part supplement program. Every core feature that defines the ReefDose platform carries over intact: the patent-pending single-drop accuracy heads, the Dynamic Dosing Queue, the three speed modes and the 10-year motor life expectancy. The ReefDose 4 simply extends this to four fully independent channels, all coordinated into one unified daily dosing schedule.
Why choose the ReefDose 4 over the ReefDose 2?
Two channels covers the basics — calcium and alkalinity. Four channels opens up the full Red Sea Foundation 3-Part program (calcium, alkalinity and magnesium) with a fourth channel free for trace elements, amino acids, liquid coral food or any other supplement you dose regularly. For reefers running Red Sea’s 4-Part Reef Care Program, the ReefDose 4 is the natural companion — the ReefBeat app includes a built-in Dosing Calculator that integrates directly with the 4-Part program, calculating optimal daily doses based on actual measured calcium uptake and implementing the recommendations directly to the pump with a single tap.
The same patent-pending heads — four of them
All four dosing heads use the identical direct-drive planetary gear-motor mechanism as the ReefDose 2, delivering ±0.05 mL accuracy or 0.5% average deviation over 10 mL across all four channels simultaneously. Each head clicks on and off without tools in seconds, and the controller tracks cumulative volume per dose to maintain accuracy even when a daily total is divided across many small doses throughout the day.
The automatic delay between successive head activations ensures that no two supplements dose at exactly the same time — preventing chemical interaction between calcium and alkalinity solutions in the tubing or sump, regardless of how tightly the four schedules are packed.
Dynamic Dosing Queue — four heads, one coordinated schedule
The same Dynamic Dosing Queue that makes the ReefDose 2 stand out operates across all four channels of the ReefDose 4, now managing a more complex daily schedule. The controller combines the dosing plans for all four heads into one unified queue, spaces them to avoid chemical conflicts and automatically reschedules any missed doses when power outages, maintenance or feed pauses interrupt the day. The queue updates instantly whenever any setting is changed on any head.
Food Head mode — fourth channel for liquid feeding
Any of the four channels can be designated as a Food Head in the ReefBeat app. When a Food Head is triggered, the app automatically activates Feed Mode across all connected ReefBeat devices — pausing flow pumps, skimmers and other equipment that would disperse the food before coral can capture it. This turns the ReefDose 4 into an automated coral feeding station as well as a supplement doser.
Red Sea 4-Part Dosing Calculator integration
The ReefBeat app includes a Dosing Calculator specifically built around Red Sea’s Foundation 4-Part Reef Care Program. It calculates the manual adjustment dose needed to bring calcium and other elements from their current tested level to target, computes the optimal ongoing daily dose based on measured calcium uptake, maintains a calcium test log exportable beyond the standard 30-day history, and pushes the calculated doses directly to the ReefDose 4 — removing the manual arithmetic that leads to dosing errors.
Three speed modes across all four heads
Each of the four channels independently selects between Whisper (15 mL/min), Regular (30 mL/min) and Turbo (45 mL/min) — so a high-volume alkalinity channel can run in Regular while a micro-dose trace element channel runs in Whisper for near-silent operation at low speeds.
ReefBeat app — unified control of the full ecosystem
The ReefDose 4 connects to the free ReefBeat app over WiFi and integrates with all other ReefBeat devices — ReefLED lights, ReefWave pumps, ReefATO and more. From the app: monitor all four dose logs for up to 30 days, track container volumes across all four channels, receive missed-dose alerts per head, schedule dosing on selected days of the week, and export full dosing history records.
