programming
 
yep I hear yeah,, the only way to get it to di it over 30 minute increments is to do manual programming,,,
Using the APEX wizard it auto calcs everything for you...

Here is a quote from my post regarding this on the neptune site from RussM


"""Many small doses at slowest speeds contributes to both stability and extended life of the DOS pump heads. When you use the Fusion wizard, the system uses the slowest speed it can use to accomplish the dosing configured."""" --- RussM

It looks like you have it set up every 10 mins roughly. I have mine set up every 30 mins alternating to give it more time for absorption before dosing the other supplement.
I think what we are all saying is to spread it out over the 24 hours be it every hour or half hour.
