Tagging along as well. I was recommended the Jebao 4 doser and was planning on buying it, but if its not worth it I may end up getting the better ones. Does anyone know a good reference I can read on the entire process of dosing? I have never done it before and have had issues in all my tanks as the tank aged.

I just went through this while trying to decide on a dosing system for my future 80 gallon. My top three choices were Kamoer, Pacific Sun Kore 5th, GHL Doser 2, and Vertex Libra.
I ultimately narrowed it down to the GHL and Vertex Libra. The Kore 5th and Kamoer seemed to be good dc motor systems, but I ultimately decided a stepper motor was a better investment. I figured if I was going to drop several hundred on a doser might as well get the most reliable technology, and given my research that was the stepper motors.
In the end I went with the GHL. It's track record seemed pretty stellar given the reviews I found, and it's expandability is impressive. It's just a matter of those add-ons making it to the US. It has ports for stir plates, level sensors, temp probes, and the wireless connectivity and controllability was very appealing.
I have yet to run it, but have gotten my hands on it and it is certainly a top quality piece of equipment in terms of build quality.

I was just looking into this because not only will it be helpful to have a doser but I need to have one because I'll be going on vacation in the summer and need to have one. I was looking at the bubble magus t01 or t11. I couldn't find any comparisons online for the two. Now I'm reading about them here and people aren't happy with them or say they are crappy. Online reviews look pretty good over all sites that offer Them. Not user why the negative reviews for them on here

I have a pacific sun kore 5th doser, from looking at the program it seems you can do a lot of stuff with it. I do like the fact that it is bluetooth and you can program it all on the computer. My tank is still fairly new and I am in the process figuring out what my usage is, then i will start dosing with it.
