I have 4 dosing pumps - Alk, Calcium, Magnesium and Vinegar. I have tried moving around the occelation times to get these to never be 2 on at any given time but no mater what I do it seems like at least one dose of these matches up. Should I use the Defer command to create some separation?

Current Code:

Alk - Should be dosing 25ml per day, and running 4 times per day, (dosing rate of 1.1ml/min)

Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/003:47/236:13 Then ON
If pH > 8.35 Then OFF

Vinegar - Should be dosing 25ml per day, running 2 times per day, (dosing rate of 1.26ml/min

Fallback OFF
OSC 030:00/009:55/680:05 Then ON

I am thinking I might adjust the Vinegar dosing to only dose between 6am and 6pm and every 4 hours during that time. Using this code.

Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/006:37/233:23 Then ON
If Time 18:00 to 05:59 Then OFF

I haven't figured out my daily adjustments for Magnesium and I am waiting to bring the calcium doser online till I get the Alk dose set. The alk dose may go us a few ml, just trying to wrap my mind around everything.
