Set it up, which was not easy considering the Neptune.com/getstarted doesn't seem to be there but I found a helpful, albeit a little loquacious, YouTube video. But I have questions. I am not sure what to set the daily dosing amount. I thought this worked with Trident and it would dose based on test results? If I am wrong about that, fine but in order to raise my calcium by 10 ppm (a random amount since I don't know what my usage is yet) I have to dose 153mL of the BRS liquid calcium chloride which seems like a lot to do in one dose. Same with the BRS soda ash. Will the doser automatically spread out the dosage over the time period I ask it to?

Thank you and I am sorry if these are stupid questions.
 
You need to know what your daily dosage (ie what you would be adding daily to maintain your numbers) is before you set up trident controlled dosing.
