    DOS and Aquaforest's Component 1+2+3+ dosing

    Starting a thread for Apex DOS and Aquaforest's Component 1+2+3+ (A three part balling method).
    Currently my daily dose schedule is : 100ml each: Alk 12am-7am, Mg 8am-3pm, Ca 4pm-11pm. There is about an hour pause between dosing the solutions.

    I would like to change the dosing schedule to dose all three within an hour with some time between them to prevent precipitation. The DOS would approximately release 4mL per hour of each component about 18 minutes apart. Any programming suggestions or ideas? Im not too savvy with code. The reason for this would be to stabilize my Alk spikes. Here are my original thoughts. I own 2 apex DOS units.
    Thank you.

    minute 00-01 - 4mL component 1+
    minute 02-20 - no dosing
    minute 21-22 -4mL component 2+
    minute 23-41 - no dosing
    minute 42-43 - 4mL component 3+
    minute 44-59 - no dosing

    Use the Dosing Wizard for the Dos outlets as it will do all of the programming dosing evenly over those time periods that your are looking for.

    Of course it does. That was not my question, though. Anyone else?

    If you want defined times, then you have to use dos profiles activated by OSC statements. It is far easier to just use the wizard. It will dose such small amounts that even if they drop at exactly the same time it won't precipitate much if at all. If the amount dosed doesn't match exactly between solutions it will naturally seperate the doses so they don't happen at exactly the same time (most of the time)

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    I guess I m not understanding, Thanks Zombie. Does someone have an example of what it should look like?

    The profile route would require 3 profiles (1 for each part) set to the desired per dose amount, the slowest speed possible, and 1 dose per time. Then for each DOS head would be

    Part1
    OSC 000:00/020:00/040:00 Then Part1

    Part2
    OSC 020:00/020:00/020:00 Then Part2

    Part3
    OSC 040:00/020:00/000:00 Then Part3
