    Need help for 24 hour dosing

    I would like to dose 2 part over 24 hours. Currently I'm using the wizard and manually setting Alk to dose 4.1 ml every hour at the top of the hour for 00-30 min. And Ca to dose 4.1 ml 5 min later for 35-55 min. Is there a better coding to accomplish dosing 2 part over 24 hours? Thanks in advance

    I set mine for each pump to dose a total of 60 ml over 24 hours each and let the wizard program run amd split the doses.
    it drops under 1 ml of each solution so I don't see any negative effect of small doses being close to one another.

    I did however make my start time and end time for the alk with normal 24 hour period and programmed the time period for the Cal start time 30 min after and the end time 30 min earlier.
    this made the Cal dose period 23 hours.
    by checking fusion and watching the pumps for a while to confirm they dose at least 12 minutes apart.

    hope this helps, if you need me to dig up the times I used for this I can.
    good luck and happy reefing.

    You're doing it the hard way - just use a single interval set for the period you want and the total amount you need to dose.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    How would code look if I want to say dose Alk every hour between X:00-X:30 and Ca between X:35-X:55?

    There's no manual coding involved in using the wizard. It does it for you.

    I'm assuming that there's an easier way by advance coding correct?

    Would it be something like..

    Osc 00:00/02:00/58:00 then on?

    So it'll come on at the top of every hour for 2 min every hour? How would I set my desired dose amount?
