Hello fellow reefers! I need help with a dosing command on my Apex. I am running a AIO tank and am dosing in the rear chambers. I would like to have my DOS turn off while feeding. I only use feedA and am currently dosing Kalk.

Under the advanced tab when clicking the dos tile in fusion add something like (it should auto populate as you type with a drop down menu to select from available options)

If feed_a = on then off

You could also add a defer statement if you want it to wait x amount of time before turning back on, example below would be a ten minute delay. So a separate line below the one above, like

Defer 010:00 then on

When I upload the command. It changes the ON to 000
That’s fine. That was my memory at fault there but it’s the same. Basically the 000 is a timer. 000 in this case meaning off the entire time feeda is active. If you change it to 001 then it wouldn’t turn off until one minute after feeda completed. Again, that’s my memory of it, so try it out and verify it don’t just set it and forget it.

Awesome! Thanks for the help.
