I dose 2 part into my sump, in the waterfall/carbon bag chamber after the refugium and before the pump return. However I shut down my skimmer and return during feed mode for 10 minutes. The flow stops and the level rises. It seems to precipitate out if it doses during feed mode.

I assume it's as simple as:

IF FeedA Then OFF

Will it "catch up" however?
 
You are correct when it comes to the statement for turning off the pumps.

As for the catching up part the simple answer is no it will not go back to catch up. I am assuming your schedule is set up with the ON/OFF/ON or visa versa statements?
 
Thanks. I assumed it wasn't "smart" enough to know if it missed a dose.

I just let the apex decide the interval and length. I don't have it set up with on/off.

For example:

tdata 00:00:00,1,21,0,4,2,88,12,0,4,0,0,10,0
tdata 21:00:00,1,21,0,9,2,148,16,0,9,0,180,11,0

Which is my calcium set up as two intervals (21-23:59; 0-2). I dose this at night because my refugium raises my pH enough.
