Neptune DOS problem

[Abyzter]

Can anyone tell me what is going on with my DOS? It is only programed to dose 2ml of all for reef over 24 hours but yet dosed over 1000ml on its own. This is the 2nd time this has happened and I am lost on why this keeps happening.

Neptune has a forum on a different site.
To adjust additives, click the clipboard icon, select DOS Additive dosing, then you follow the wizard on this screen

Is there any chance you accidentally set the pump to On instead of Auto? That would cause it to pump a lot more than the set amount.

Didn’t even think of that. It is not recommended to plug the DOS power in to the EB832

No what I believe he meant is if the channel for your DOS is set to on and not on auto meaning doser will just be on and not on the schedule you created.
Following along anyway

Yes that is what I meant. I know it has a set dosing amount when turned to the on position, but I don’t remember what the set amount is.

It has nothing to do with the power for the dos.

Yours must work differently than mine. I can only control the power (Off-Auto-On) for things plugged directly in to the EB832. The DOS is not plugged in to that and can only be controlled with the clipboard menu.

The tiles at the bottom of this screen shot is what I am referring to. It is where you turn the dosing heads to Off/Auto/On. It tells the head whether to not dose anything, follow the dosing table, or to continuously dose.

This is not the power for the dos, which isn’t plugged into my eb832.

Looks like you must have programmed it wrong. That you want 2ml but it does 200 every hour at the same time suggests perhaps you slipped a decimal point?

Bingo looks like you got that.

Nope I believe I have it programed correctly

Is the DOS capable of dispensing 1/10th of a ml at a time? That is a very small amount of liquid. Doesn't address the issue you're having but I don't thing there is much value in dividing up the dosage if you're only adding 2 ml. Just add it once per day and call it good.
