Apex DOS

[Dal]

Hi All,

Ive stared to dose 2 part. I need 40ml per 24 hours. DOS does it 0.5ml every 18mins. Then i dose part 2 with another doser every hour 1ml x 24

Now - is there a way to code DOS to do the same - to dose every hour but like 15 mins later after another doser does? Problem is that i cant dose both parts at the same time - it needs to be like 5-15mins gap, but sometimes DOS doses it at the same time when other doser does like lets say at 1pm or 4pm

Mmm thank you, but i dont think its what i need....? Im dosing part1 with DOS and part2 with another doser (not Apex DOS)

Sure, number 11 applies here. You can create your own dosing intervals instead of using the dosing task. In the lower left of the image, the drop down for create, edit, and delete intervals is displayed. Create the dosing intervals you need as separate interval tasks. For example, create an interval that runs from 09:05-09:15 and doses 10ml. Create another interval from 10:05-10:15 and doses another 10ml, and so on. You have the flexibility to create the intervals as needed.

I’m not sure, but This program may be what you are looking for to program your3rd party doser. It is extremely easy to use.

Exactly, those would be the intervals to create or edit. You can create any number of intervals as needed.

For my tank, I needed to control the time of day and volume of alk supplement. I also needed a 30 minute window when nothing is dosed to perform maintenance. My dosing intervals are programmed below.

The code generator linked by @edsbeaker is a fine path to go as well and would likely save time in programming.

OP I would test this using RODI water first until you are satisfied with the results. Just a friendly tip. Easy to put dosing line in a bucket.
