Apex Dosing Code for every 2 hours?

[sfg]

I have a 30g with most of my SPS frags that i just moved over from my old tank. As expected they have suffered some due to the move

I'm running a pair of BRS 1.1ml dosers. Prior to the move I was running the cal and alk as follows:
Alk: OSC 030:00/000:40/029:20 Then ON
Cal: OSC 000:00/000:40/029:20 Then ON

Since the move I've had to scale back as consumption is low. What i've noticed is that anything under 10 seconds doesn't seem to work as expected. Example, for 8 seconds the doser will only come on for maybe 3. Anything above 10 seconds seems to be ok.

So to work this out I figured I would run them every other hour as follows :
Alk: OSC 060:00/000:16/119:44 Then ON
Cal: OSC 000:00/000:16/119:44 Then ON

Can anyone confirm this will give me every other hour with an offset of 1 hour between each running?
Hesitant to turn this code lose without confirmation.

Appreciate the help

That’s where I got the code. The “60” concerns me as the generator didn’t give an option for a 60 min defer

This is what you want:

Alk: OSC 060:00/000:16/059:44 Then ON
Cal: OSC 000:00/000:16/119:44 Then ON

This will dose alk at 1 AM, 3 AM, etc, and calcium at midnight, 2 AM, etc.
The first number establishes the offset from midnight.
The sum of the first and third number is the OFF interval between doses.

Not sure why your sub- 10 second dosing time isn't working, though. It should.
Do you have Defer statements in those code stacks?


Also, looking at your previous code above,

Alk: OSC 030:00/000:40/029:20 Then ON
Cal: OSC 000:00/000:40/029:20 Then ON

This would have been dosing alk every hour and calcium every 30 minutes.
Alk and calcium would have been dosed together at 12:30, 1:30, etc.

Super appreciate it! And yes, you're correct. I actually ran the following. Typo on my part. You're code works as expected. Thanks man!

OSC 000:00/000:08/059:52 Then ON
OSC 030:00/000:08/029:52 Then ON
