How do i make it so the range is tight and the alk swings arent swings far from the target number?

For me, it was playing with the starting numbers when you first set it up. Initially I entered the normal daily dosing amounts I normally used, prior to the Trident. The problem is if my ALK/CA/Mg numbers rose in my tank, the Trident gave dosing control back to the Apex DOS, which sometimes caused my numbers to continue to rise. I found if I entered my starting dosing numbers lower than I normally would use, it allows the trident to stay in control, and dos more or less as needed. Hopefully that makes sense?

This is how Neptune explains it …


I'd think you'd want to tighten the control range some and start with lower dosing volumes.
