I’m on the list with my local fish store and every online retailer that allows one to request to be on notification list. I’ve received no notifications to date. Still pretty turnt that BRS released before midnight of the release night. I am usually pretty good at placing an order fast, but I set my clock to get up at 2:50am Eastern and they had already sold out. I’m hoping to get one soon.Nope. And I are on 3 to be emailed

It already exists. You can choose the Drain option for the waste instead of choosing Container and size.Rather than setting a certain size (which could still be a redundancy) I don’t think it is currently possible, maybe a feature to add.
I use a container with a float sensor on the breakout box and a virtual outlet to shut off my skimmer when the skin mate container is full.
Possible to do that with or add the ability to the trident? Rather than setting a container size.

Sorry, I forgot to include the second part of my thoughts- that you could use the Drain option and have the Trident waste go into the skim-mate container.

It's more like pressing it multiple times when the light is burnt out just to make sure.Is that like pressing the elevator button hoping that will make it come faster?

If you go with trident controlled 2 part dosing with the DOS, and set alk and calcium to be all day , with alk being adjusted to more during daylight hours, will the system make sure alk and calcium are offset to not dose at the same time or do you have to do that manually somehow?
It's not a myth - there's much truth to it. I personally have caused a precipitation whiteout in my tank way back when I was a newbie and didn't know about (or possibly ignored!) all the oft-repeated, drilled-into-our-heads admonitions against dosing alk and Ca at the same time. But, the way I see it, that goes back to a time when dosing pumps were expensive and not readily available; many dosed 2-part in daily, weekly, or even less frequent boluses... people were strongly advised to add one 2-part supplement, wait a while, then add the other with good reason. The outcome from dumping in a good quantity of alk and calcium at the same time is not prettyCalcium, Alk and Magnesium can dose at the same time right next to each other. I have done it for the past 10+ years without issue. I think it is one of those hobby myths were someone said to dose separately because it sounded logical and the community has continued to support it. It is important to dose in a high flow area whether dosing one at a time or all at once. Even having a pump in sump can help to keep it from settling out and hardening
How long have you used the DOS on that 13 minute schedule and how has it held up? Thinking of adding a DOS myself.It's not a myth - there's much truth to it.

But when using dosing pumps (for me, it was old Alitea peristaltic pumps originally, and later, the DŌS when it came out), there's a key difference from doing single larger manual doses - typically one is dosing very small amounts at a time, and those tiny doses get diluted almost instantly. For example, my current tank gets 33mL/day of alk supplement; that's dosed in minuscule 0.3mL doses every 13 minutes. I've yet to see any indications of precipitation happening when using my DŌS, even during those rare periods when I was dosing equal amounts of alk and Ca, and therefore the dosing of each was at the same times. As an additional measure, I do as you do - position the outputs of the pumps into an area of relatively high flow; it's a simple, common-sense thing to do. IME, there's no need to go to great lengths (as some insist on doing) to have complicated programming or create umpteen separate intervals in a DŌS schedule.

Has anybody else encountered Test A failed? I've contacted support, but so far it hasn't been solved.
