FAQs

Can I refill the Dosator once it is empty?

No, the Ciano Plants Protection Dosator is a single-use, sealed system designed for safety and convenience. It should be replaced every 60 days.

Is this safe for aquarium shrimp and snails?

Yes, the solution is designed to be safe for freshwater inhabitants, including most common shrimp and snail species, when used as directed.

What happens if I forget to change the Dosator?

The plants will simply stop receiving the supplemental nutrients. The tank remains safe, but you may notice slower growth or nutrient deficiencies after a few days.

Do I need to turn off my filter when using this?

No, you do not need to turn off your filter. In fact, keeping the filter running helps circulate the nutrients released by the Dosator throughout the tank.

Can I use this in a 30L aquarium?

The M size is specifically calibrated for 40-80L tanks. Using it in a 30L tank may result in over-fertilization.

Troubleshooting

Device is not releasing liquid

Ensure the Dosator was clicked firmly into place upon installation; re-seat the device to verify the release mechanism is activated.

Suction cups not sticking

Clean the aquarium glass thoroughly to remove algae or slime and moisten the suction cups before pressing them firmly against the surface.

App notification not received

Check your smartphone's notification settings to ensure the Ciano App has permission to send alerts, and verify the treatment start date was saved correctly.

Pros and Cons

  • Completely hands-free operation for 60 days
  • Easy installation on almost any freshwater tank
  • Effectively targets iron and potassium deficiencies
  • Integrated app alerts prevent missed replacement cycles

Cons

  • Requires purchase of single-use replacements
  • Limited to 40-80L tank capacities

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation is straightforward: ensure the device is clicked firmly until you hear the confirmation sound. For Ciano Aqua series aquariums, utilize the integrated clips for a secure fit. For other brands, use the provided suction cups on clean glass. Compatibility is strictly limited to freshwater aquariums ranging from 40 to 80 liters. Care is minimal, consisting only of wiping the exterior of the unit during routine water changes to prevent biofilm buildup. When the Ciano App alerts you at the 60-day mark, remove the old unit, dispose of it responsibly, and click a fresh Dosator unit into the mounting bracket.
