Well seen the dos can go forward and reverse I decided to use it to dose phyto plankton. First you need to figure out how much liquid it takes to fill the line. But doing this I first calibrated the dos. Then after I got the dos calibrated I took the container off of the input line and put the measuring cup on it. Then I went to programming and set a 10 min program in reverse to 100ml. Then I let the program run to empty the line. When the process was done it measured how much fluid was in the cup. It takes mine 30ml to fill the line.
Now that I know it takes 30ml to fill the lline I then changed the programming. So I want to dose 15ml at 11:30am and 25ml at 11:30pm. Sense the corals feed more at night I want to dose more phyto at night.
Ok here’s the tricky part the dos only lets you dose in 10min intervals. So I had to program the dos like this.
At 11:30-11:40 add 45ml
Then at 11:41-11:51 remove 40ml
I added 10ml to the remove just in case any air bubbles gather in the line.
At 23:30-23:40 add 55ml
Then at 23:41-23:51 remove 40ml
Here’s the phyto glass
I added an air stone to keep the phyto suspended
Here’s my programming
