King of... something.
Okay so I have been the proud owner of an Apex for a little over a month and want to make sure my programming is right. I picked up a Trident over the weekend as the tank is in the office and I only see it once a week right now.
I have found a few examples that used 2-3 virtual outputs per parameter but that seemed like a lot so I simplified. So far the results seem right. The tank utilizes about 14ML of All for reef per day but I want to keep the Alkalinity between 8 and 9. The logic is as follows:
ALK higher than 9 then stop dosing
ALK less than 9 but higher than 8 then dose every hour for 30 seconds (2ML/hr)
ALK less than 8 then dose every 30 minutes for 30 seconds (4ML/hr)
Only dose between 4am and 6pm.
Right now I am dosing 2x normal dosage as the alkalinity had dropped to 6, this will likely be modified in the future.
BRS 1.1 Doser outlet AFRDoser - output 2ML per minute
Virtual Output AFR_INC
Feedback is appreciated.
