Quiet Operation
Nothing detracts from the serenity of a beautiful aquarium like obtrusive equipment noise. The DŌS QuietDrive is engineered both in physical design and motor operation to ensure that the DŌS system is one of the quietest aquarium dosing solutions on the market.
The QuietZone also features a continuous duty range which offers more flexibility for additive dosing and automatic water changes.
DŌS: A Closer Look
Dosing Made Easy
The DŌS QuietDrive joins your Apex ecosystem via Apex Fusion. The Fusion app dosing wizard can easily assist setup with basic dosing configurations or use feedback from probes or a Trident to automate dosing based on the levels inside your aquarium. DŌS functionality will also expand in time as new features and equipment are added.
Built to Last
The DŌS QuietDrive has a gearless, direct drive mechanism, featuring a 5000 hour mean time before failure (MTBF) stepper motor. The net result is reliable and accurate dosing month after month even in the demanding environments of a marine aquarium setup. Expect a lifespan potentially 12X greater than a DC motor driven alternative.
Secure Tubing
Leak proof fittings are critically important in a dosing pump. A pump must prevent leakage of dosing liquids but also maintain air-tight seals to ensure accurate pump metering. The DŌS QuietDrive features sure-fit compression fittings which are vastly superior to the dual-barbed fittings that are commonly used on many aquarium dosing pumps.
Monitor, Protect, and Control with Apex Fusion
Apex Fusion is a free, cloud-based service that, when connected to your Apex, gives you a command center for your aquarium(s) from anywhere in the world. It works on nearly every device platform – computer, tablet, or smart phone – Windows, macOS, iOS, or Android. Get the Apex Fusion app on the App Store or Google Play today!
Engineered with Purpose
The DŌS QuietDrive is much more than a dosing pump. Capable of multi-purpose dosing and fluid delivery the DŌS QuietDrive combines the simplicity of Apex Fusion software wizards for operations such as:
Water Changes
The DŌS QD offers a variable speed motor that can move drops or even gallons (up to 30 gallons a day)
Replace large weekly manual water changes with small volume daily automated exchanges.
Smaller volume, consistent water changes over time are better at maintaining stability and preventing parameter swings.
Additives
Additives dosing for consistent water chemistry, like alkalinity and calcium, are crucial for maintaining live coral.
The DŌS QD is designed to deliver additives slowly and uniformly, throughout the day to better maintain stability.
When paired with a Trident or Trident-NP the DOS QD can perform Trident Controlled Dosing, so as water chemistry changes so does the DQD’s
Also Perfect For:
Other Additives Dosing
Micro-Quantity Dosing
Delivery of Liquid Foods and Supplements
What’s Included
DŌS QuietDrive
50 mL Calibration Cylinder
6mm OD Tubing
1LINK Cable
DDR – DŌS Dual Reservoir
This attractive fluid containment system stores your dosing fluids in style and tells you when it’s time to refill!
Each side stores two liters (2L) of fluid
Connects directly to your DŌS
Optical sensors inform your APEX when levels are low
Strong, cast-acrylic construction
Low-profile – won’t easily tip over
Easy to refill
Push-fit tubing connections
Use for 2-part (Alk/Cal), additives and other applications
Style Meets Function. Deceiving Capacity and No-Tip Design
The DDR has great style and will stand out in anyones equipment room. But it’s not just about style. It may not look like it, but each side of the reservoir holds an ample two liters (2000 mL) of fluid. For most saltwater aquariums that are dosing Calcium and Alkalinity to their aquariums, this amount is more than enough to last at least two weeks. If you were dosing other additives it might last months before needing a refill.
Connects to Your DŌS
The DDR is the only dosing container on the market that connects electrically to your DŌS and uses optical sensors that alert you when your fluid has approximately 20% remaining.
Ready for Apex Fusion
Although not required, the DDR interfaces directly into your Apex Fusion dashboard. See in realtime your fluid levels and get an alarm when a reservoir runs low.
Optical Sensor Alerts
One simple connection links the DDR to the DŌS. No worries about fooling around with loose wires, float switches, etc. Just plug it in and it will show up in your Apex Fusion Dashboard.
Specifications

Requires: Apex, Apex Lite, or Apex Jr. and DŌS to operate sensors
Package includes: DDR, 4m of DŌS tubing
While the DŌS Dual Reservoir (DDR) is compatible with the majority of common additives that might be used in aquarium, some fluids can do harm.
Do NOT fill the DDR with:
solvents
fluids that contain solvents
methanol, or fluids containing methanol, e.g., RedSea NO3-PO4-X
ethyl alcohol, e.g., vodka
other fluids that may be reactive with acrylic or plastics
If you are in doubt as to compatibility of a fluid with acrylic or plastics, please contact the manufacturer of the fluid.
The DŌS may be used to dispense such fluids; if you dose such additives, we recommend that they be kept in their original container, and that you place the DŌS intake tubing in that container for dispensing.
* Use only with fluids compatible with acrylic. Not to be used with solvents and other fluids that may be reactive with acrylic such as methanol.
If you are in doubt, please contact the manufacturer of the fluid to see if it will react to acrylic.
