Hello reefers, I attempted to set up my apex to dose my kalk via a kalk stirrer and the DOS.
I’d like to explain my set up.

DoS is plugged into wall not the energy bar (not sure if that makes a difference.

avast kalk stirrer plugged into the wall ( not sure if that makes a difference)

I entered a command for it to stop dosing Alk gets above 8.4 or ph gets to a certain number. Is this correct? And if I’m missing a command that will help save my tank as far as this setup please let me know.

the first picture show an increase in the dosing of kalk because my numbers haven’t increased. They’ve actually dropped. So I may need to dose some sodium bicarbonate to raise my alk up to a number I’m comfortable with.

currently my KALK says TBL from my understanding means it’s dosing based on my “setup” is that correct?

hopefully this makes sense just trying to get all of my thoughts out.

"TBL" means the DOS is currently following the Schedule you defined with 60 mL spread over 24 hours. The code you added to the "Advanced" tab is correct. If either one of your two conditions are true, that will override the DOS schedule and prevent the DOS from delivering any liquid. For the Alkx3 value, it will keep the DOS turned off until after the next scheduled Trident test since the value of Alkx3 only changes at the time of the most recent test.
