Description
Product Overview
Liquid fertilizers, iron supplements, and trace element solutions tend to settle and precipitate over time, leading to inconsistent nutrient concentration and inaccurate dosing. The Chihiros Dosing Magnetic Stirrer features four independent stirring heads engineered to keep your liquid supplements thoroughly mixed and uniformly blended before auto-dosing. This compact 4-station stirrer integrates seamlessly with Chihiros Dosing Systems and standard fertilizer containers to ensure precise nutrient delivery to your planted tank or reef aquarium.
This listing includes the 4-head magnetic stirrer base, power adapter, and 4 magnetic stir bars. Chihiros dosing bottles and containers are sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are liquid dosing bottles included with this magnetic stirrer?
No. This listing includes the 4-head magnetic stirrer base, power adapter, and 4 magnetic stir bars. Chihiros dosing bottles and containers are sold separately.
2. Why is a magnetic stirrer recommended for automated aquarium dosing?
Liquid fertilizers (especially iron, phosphate, and calcium supplements) settle into layers when left sitting. A magnetic stirrer reconstitutes these mixtures into a homogeneous liquid, ensuring your automated dosing pump pulls the exact nutrient concentration intended instead of diluted water or concentrated sludge.
3. Can I use non-Chihiros fertilizer bottles with this stirrer?
Yes. Any standard plastic or glass dosing bottle with a flat bottom will work, provided the bottle diameter fits on the stirrer platform, and the magnetic stir bar is dropped inside.
