yet another few questions about setting up my robo tank. @robsworld78

so to set up a dosing pump to robo tank all i need is one of these pumps

these wires


and then solder those wires to the pump, then screw the other side of the wires to a 2 pin terminal.

then i have to connect the main controller to the equipment extension via dc port/ethernet cable and also use the 2-way DC power splitter cable to power both the main controller and the equipment extension. plug it into one of the ports and im good to go.

main questions are

1. are those the correct wires to buy?
2. is there a specific solder i should use?

so i can dose as much as i want in a 24 hour period?
I did not say that.
You can split your appropriate dose up into as many smaller segments as you prefer over a 24 hour period though. You do not need to restrict yourself to 150 doses. The benefits of segmenting the dosing interval beyond this will likely be negligible however.

ok i basically wanted to know if i could dose kalk to maintain 8.2-8.4 ph throughout the day. which might take many doses.
