Chihiros Dosing Tube Holder

Product Overview

The Chihiros Dosing Tube Holder is designed to integrate directly with automated dosing systems. This holder ensures that liquid plant fertilizer, water conditioners, and supplements are delivered neatly and directly into the water column without cluttering your layout.

Key Features & System Benefits

• Clear Acrylic Construction: Offers a transparent, low-profile design that blends seamlessly onto the rim of rimless or framed glass aquariums.
• Secure Line Organization: Locks flexible dosing lines in place to prevent accidental displacement, line kinks, or fertilizer dripping down the outer glass.
• Complete System Compatibility: This listing includes the tube holder and tubing only; the Dosing Container Kit and Dosing Pumps may be purchased separately to complete your automated setup.

Setup & Installation Instructions

• Mount the acrylic holder securely onto the upper rim of your aquarium glass in an area with active water flow.
• Thread the included flexible dosing tubing through the securing slots on the holder until the line outlets rest above the water line.
• Connect the opposite ends of the tubing to your Dosing Pumps and Dosing Container Kit.
• Position line outlets above the water level to prevent potential back-siphoning into your liquid plant fertilizer containers.
• Wipe down the acrylic mount periodically during regular water changes to remove mineral deposits.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does this listing include dosing pumps or container bottles?

No, this listing includes the acrylic tube holder and tubing only. The Dosing Container Kit and Dosing Pumps may be purchased separately to assemble a complete automated system.

2. Why should dosing lines be kept elevated above the water line?

Submerging dosing lines below the water surface can cause tank water to back-siphon into your fertilizer reservoirs or cause liquid plant fertilizer to calcify and clog the tube tips. Keeping the outlets elevated ensures a clean drop into the water column.

3. Will the acrylic mount scratch rimless glass aquariums?

No, the acrylic is smooth and non-abrasive, making it safe for glass aquariums when installed properly without forcing or overtightening.
