Overview
LGND Dosing Tubes Deluxe™ are premium aquarium-grade silicone dosing tubes developed to provide reliable, accurate, and organised liquid delivery for automated dosing systems. Manufactured from high-quality flexible silicone, the tubing maintains a smooth internal bore that promotes consistent flow while remaining resistant to kinking, hardening, and deformation during long-term use.
Supplied as a set of four vibrant colours, the tubes make it easy to identify individual dosing channels for fertilizers, trace elements, calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, amino acids, carbon supplements, or other liquid additives. Colour coding greatly simplifies installation, maintenance, and routine refilling while reducing the possibility of connecting the wrong dosing solution.
The highly flexible construction allows the tubing to route neatly through aquarium cabinets without placing unnecessary strain on dosing pumps or fittings. Compatible with the majority of peristaltic dosing pumps that accept 3/5 mm tubing, LGND Dosing Tubes Deluxe™ provide dependable performance for freshwater planted aquariums, reef aquariums, and marine systems where precision dosing is essential for maintaining stable water chemistry.
Designed for both hobbyists and professional aquascapers, the tubing offers a clean, organised appearance while ensuring long-lasting reliability in demanding aquarium environments. For an even more professional installation, the tubing can be paired with the optional LGND Dosing Tube Holder™ to keep dosing lines securely positioned above the aquarium.
Technical Specifications
LGND Dosing Tubes Deluxe™ are manufactured from premium aquarium-safe silicone selected for its flexibility, durability, and long service life. Each package contains four individually coloured tubes, allowing multiple dosing solutions to be easily identified and managed within a single installation.
Each tube measures 3 metres (9.8 ft) in length and features an internal diameter of 3 mm (0.12 in) with an external diameter of 5 mm (0.20 in), making the tubing compatible with most standard 3/5 mm aquarium dosing pumps and liquid dosing accessories. The smooth internal surface promotes stable liquid flow while the soft silicone construction provides secure connections to pump fittings without becoming brittle over time.
FAQ
Can LGND Dosing Tubes Deluxe be used with any dosing pump?
LGND Dosing Tubes Deluxe™ are compatible with most aquarium dosing pumps that utilise standard 3/5 mm tubing. Before installation, always verify the tubing specifications recommended by your dosing pump manufacturer.
Why are the tubes supplied in four different colours?
The four colour options allow each dosing line to be assigned to a specific additive, making installation, maintenance, and refilling significantly easier while reducing the risk of connecting the wrong solution.
What liquids can be used with these dosing tubes?
The tubes are suitable for most common liquid aquarium additives, including fertilizers, trace elements, calcium, alkalinity, magnesium, amino acids, carbon supplements, bacteria cultures, and other aquarium conditioners designed for dosing systems.
Will the silicone tubing affect dosing accuracy?
No. The smooth internal bore and consistent dimensions help maintain stable liquid flow when used with a properly calibrated dosing pump. For maximum accuracy, recalibrate the pump periodically according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Can the tubing be cut to a shorter length?
Yes. The silicone tubing can be cut using a sharp blade or tubing cutter to create the exact length required for your aquarium installation. Clean, square cuts provide the most secure connection to pump fittings.
Does the silicone tubing become stiff over time?
Premium silicone remains highly flexible for extended periods under normal aquarium conditions. However, regular inspection is recommended, and tubing should be replaced if it shows signs of wear, hardening, or physical damage.
Is the tubing reef-safe?
Yes. LGND Dosing Tubes Deluxe™ are manufactured from aquarium-safe silicone and are suitable for freshwater, planted, marine, and reef aquariums when used with compatible aquarium dosing solutions.
Is a tube holder included?
No. The LGND Dosing Tube Holder™ is available separately and provides a neat, secure method of positioning multiple dosing lines above the aquarium.
Safety
LGND Dosing Tubes Deluxe™ are intended exclusively for aquarium liquid dosing applications. Always ensure the tubing is securely connected to both the dosing pump and dosing container before operation to prevent leaks or accidental air intake.
Avoid sharply bending, crushing, stretching, or pinching the tubing, as excessive deformation may reduce flow accuracy or shorten the service life of the silicone. Keep the tubing away from direct heat sources, open flames, and prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light when stored outside the aquarium cabinet.
When changing between different dosing solutions, thoroughly flush or replace the tubing to prevent contamination between additives that may react when mixed. Regularly inspect the tubing for signs of wear, discoloration, or hardening, replacing it whenever necessary to maintain precise dosing performance.
