Focustronic Dosetronic DC
The Focustronic Dosetronic DC is a five-channel programmable dosing pump for marine aquariums, providing precise, repeatable supplement delivery with the option of automatic dosing adjustments through compatible Focustronic water testing equipment. Designed as a dedicated dosing solution, the Dosetronic DC helps reef keepers maintain alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, and other supplemented parameters without manually measuring and adding liquids throughout the day. It combines independent dosing schedules, app-based controls, and integration with the Alkatronic and Mastertronic systems in a more accessible alternative to the Dosetronic PRO.
Reliable Five-Pump Dosing for Everyday Reef Maintenance
The Dosetronic DC uses five independently controlled peristaltic dosing pumps with durable Pharmed pump tubing. Each channel can be configured for a different solution, allowing aquarium owners to automate a multi-part supplementation method or assign pumps to other liquid additives appropriate for their reef system.
For aquariums with increasing coral consumption, distributing supplements across multiple dosing events can provide more consistent replenishment than manually adding the entire daily amount in one dose. The Dosetronic DC allows each solution to be scheduled according to the aquarium's individual requirements.
- Five independent dosing channels: Automate multiple aquarium additives using independently configured pumps and dosing schedules.
- Precision peristaltic pumps: Designed for accurate liquid delivery with 0.1 ml resolution and approximately ±0.1 ml specified accuracy.
- Custom dosing schedules: Choose the daily amount and distribution of individual dosing events to match aquarium consumption.
- Smart Schedule Generator: Simplifies schedule creation by distributing dosing over a 24-hour period, including adjustments for the aquarium photoperiod.
- Supplement management: Track dosing amounts, configure container volumes, and receive supported refill and dosing alerts.
- Manual dosing and calibration: Prime, calibrate, and operate pumps individually through the Focustronic app.
Integrates with Alkatronic for Automatic KH Corrections
The Dosetronic DC is more than a conventional timed dosing pump when paired with a compatible Focustronic Alkatronic or Alkatronic Professional. Alkalinity measurements can be used to adjust the dosing process, helping the system respond to changing consumption rather than relying exclusively on a fixed daily schedule.
Alkatronic Mode: Compatible dosing channels can respond to corrective actions initiated by Alkatronic, including additional doses or skipped doses. For a balanced supplementation method, multiple channels can participate in these adjustments.
Overall Dosing Adjustment: Allows dosing schedules to be modified according to alkalinity trends measured by the connected testing system.
Selective Dosing Adjustment: Provides a separate method of modifying scheduled doses in response to measured alkalinity consumption.
The Dosetronic DC also supports integration with Mastertronic Essential for adjustments based on supported water test parameters. These advanced functions require the appropriate Focustronic testing equipment, which is available separately.
A Dedicated Alternative to the Dosetronic PRO
The Dosetronic DC is intended for aquarists who need scheduled supplement delivery and Focustronic testing integration without the additional pumping functions of the PRO model. It is particularly well suited to standard two-part or three-part dosing methods, balanced reef supplementation systems, and other applications requiring multiple independently programmed liquid additives.
Unlike the Dosetronic PRO, the DC model does not provide the PRO's automatic water change or continuous reactor dosing modes. Reef keepers planning to automate saltwater exchanges or operate a calcium reactor using continuous pump control should consider the Dosetronic PRO instead.

Directions
Position the Dosetronic DC on a stable, level surface or install it using the supplied wall mount, keeping it protected from splashing and accessible for maintenance. Connect the individual dosing hoses to their supplement containers and aquarium delivery points. Download the Focustronic app, complete Wi-Fi setup, and assign the appropriate supplement to each pump. Prime the tubing and calibrate each pump using the manufacturer's procedure before entering dosing schedules. When linking the unit to Alkatronic or Mastertronic, configure the corresponding integration settings and confirm that the connected devices communicate correctly. Check dosing amounts regularly and recalibrate after tubing replacement or changes to the installation.
