Do you already know how much you will be dosing daily?

Are those pumps good.Was thinking about getting the same package.

Thx Barry may give you a yell when I get everything set up. Fish lips from what I have read they are very good commercial grade pumps. Barry would probably know better than me since he is currently running them

Well if you know how much you want to dose here is what you do. Divide the total daily ml dose into how many hours you want the dosing pumps to run. Next divide that number by 1.1(that's how much the pumps dose a minute. I dose alk at the top of the hour and ca at the half hour. Program runs for 12 hours while my lights are off.

My programs:

Alk
Fallback off
OSC 000:00/003:30/056:30 Then On
If time 12:00 to 23:59 Then Off
If pH > 8.4 Then Off

Ca
Fallback Off
OSC 030:00/003:30/026:30 Then On
If time 12:00 to 23:59 Then Off
If pH > 8.4 Then Off

Thx Darth I am going to test right before I get everything up and running to see what I want to dose I know I want to keep my cal up around 480 alk between 9 and 11 dkh and get my mag up around 1350 to 1400. My tank used to run nice and stable but since I added all my LPs and the few frags of sps I am dosing daily with 8.4 and ions and cal
