Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of Red Sea’s ReefDose®.
The ReefDose was designed to cater to the specific needs of reef aquariums and reef hobbyists. ReefDose
employs highly precise, direct-drive dosing heads driven by high quality customized gear-motors, capable
of keeping a consistent daily dosing schedule to the accuracy of a single drop. ReefDose has 3 easy-set
fully automated daily dosing programs, another automated schedule for individually planned doses, and on-
demand manual dosing that is available at all times, for each supplement.
ReefDose is part of Red Sea’s suite of smart devices that are operated via Wi-Fi by Red Sea’s ReefBeat®App,
which needs to be installed on a smart mobile device with internet connectivity.
Welcome to Red Sea’s smart reef-keeping.
Sincerely,
The Red Sea Team

Safety
PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THIS DEVICE IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD AND INDOOR USE ONLY.
DANGER: To avoid possible electric shock, special care should be taken when handling a wet aquarium. For
each of the following situations, do not attempt repairs yourself; return the appliance to an authorized
service facility for service or discard the appliance.
WARNING: To guard against injury, basic safety precautions should be observed, including the following:
Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is malfunctioning, or if it is dropped or
damaged in any manner.
To avoid the possibility of the appliance, plug or receptacle getting wet, position the aquarium stand and tank
to one side of a wall-mounted receptacle to prevent water from dripping onto the receptacle or plug. You
should create a "drip loop" (see Figure 1) for each cord connecting an aquarium appliance to a receptacle. The
"drip loop" is that part of the cord below the level of the receptacle, or the connector. Use an extension cord, if
necessary, to prevent water traveling along the cord and coming into contact with the receptacle. If the plug or
receptacle does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to
the appliance. Then unplug the device and examine for presence of water in the receptacle.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they
have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance in a safe way and
understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance
shall not be made by children without supervision.
The appliance is only to be used with the power supply unit
provided with the appliance.
To avoid injury, do not contact moving parts.
Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use, before
putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never pull the
cord itself to remove the plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and
pull to disconnect.

Installation
The ReefDose unit is splashproof and designed to work inside an aquarium cabinet.
It is not waterproof and therefore it is not advisable to mount it directly above open water.
The ReefDose can be mounted directly of any vertical surface
using the mounting bracket provided, which should be
securely screwed to the surface. Self-adhesive pads are not
recommended.
Alternatively, the ReefDose may also be placed directly on
any at surface such as a shelf, on either its bottom, top, back
or both sides (see gure 2) without any impediment to its
functions and operation. If placed on its bottom surface, make
sure that the dosing tubes are not restricted in any way.
Before on-boarding the ReefDose to your ReefBeat, the individual head priming buttons are active so that you
can test that the heads are working and install the supplement containers and prime them ready for calibration.
Once the ReefDose is on-boarded to the App, the priming buttons are deactivated by default to prevent accidental
supplementing. They can be activated as and when required from the ReefBeat App as described below.
