Hydros Blenny timer setup

cba191 · Nov 27, 2025

I am trying to set up the timer and it is nowhere near as easy as it should be, and I can't figure it out. I am dosing Alk every day. That is simple. AFR goes in every other day. that is easy as well. On the days AFR isn't going, it's supposed to alternate between Reef Plus and Reef Trace. That is where it gets impossible.Why can't you just set the day you want the every 4th day cycle to start? That just seems stupid.
Any suggestions?

I dose AFR 4 times a day. I also dose a KH buffer 4 times a day. That is it for dosing and I have not had any issues doing that. I have never used the other things you have mentioned. Not sure why you would need to do it every 4th day. Can you just divide the dose for every 4 days by 4 and then dose that amount every day?

Idk. It says to dose about twice a week.
