Hi there,

I'm currently having some clogging problems with one of my feed vessels (I'm experimenting using different feed stocks) so I'm trying to feed my tank every minute 24/7. I have been able to program my APEX pump to feed every minute using the Feed system, however I can't appear to find a way to control how much to dispense every minute. At the moment it's between 12.8 - 13ml every minute or around 18L over 24hrs, which is much too high for my current feed vessel. Does anyone know a way to program the pump to control however much to dispense?

As a note, using the dosing system even using the maximum intervals every 24hrs (255 per 24hrs) still causes issues, so that's why I don't want to use the Dose system.

Here is my current programming for the pumphead:

OSC: 000:00/000:30/000:30 Then ON
If FeedA 000 Then ON
Fallback OFF
 
Yes I tried setting a schedule, however in the interval summary it will result in a dose every 10 minutes, which is not what I want. And I am not programming in a schedule for it to dose every minute manually... there has to be an easier way otherwise it will take me hours.
