Hey all. I have a Neptune Apex on my 75g tank, and running a DOS I originally set up quite some time ago. Long enough that I can't remember the steps to setup the doser. I originally only set up the LEFT side of the DOS to dose All For Reef into my tank. I never set up the right side pump. How do I go about calibrating and setting up just a single side, without going into "tasks" and having to redo the entire DOS setup process?

Any help, tips or tricks would be great. Thanks.
 
Are you trying to dose something with your extra pump? If so, tasks>DOS addative dosing, then you can choose just a single pump from there.

I assume you calibrated the dos originally when you set it up for AFR, so it should be calibrated. But I believe its reccomend to redo calibration periodically as well as when dosing a new liquid.

I dont know if there is an alternative method.

Yes, sorry, forgot that part. I am going to use it to dose Kalkwasser from a reservoir tank.

I am currently in the process of using my DOS as auto water change, but am going to discontinue this in place of kalk as well.

I am going to recalibrate for the new kalk dose i am implementing, and reccomend you should as well for accurate dosing.
