I have been searching for how to offset my alk and calcium dosing..
I am dosing equal parts. How can offset calcium by 10 minutes after the Alk dose?
I plan to dose equal parts over 24 hours for now

First, are you sure you need equal parts calcium and alkalinity? (usually it's more alkalinity) If you're using the schedule feature, one way is just to setup 6x 2-hour time slots for each so there's ample time between them.

I am of the belief that you dose equal parts. I also have an alkatronic that will dose alk if it drops below my set range.
I figured it out. I offset the calcium schedule by 10 minutes

I run Kalk as my main supplement. Alk, mag and calcium are supplementing. I will be testing often to get a schedule set

Best of luck (just be sure to test your calcium in a few days).
