2-Part Dosing; A Question for those who dose throughout the day and night
 
I've been dosing all my Ca in the early morning, and all my Alk in the later evening hours
I'm now considering changing my timers to dose 'round the clock, with my Ca and Alk an hour apart

I'm curious what others do ...

Do you dose throughout 24 hours with each split as I'm planning ?
If not, what are your timers set @ ?

I dose each 12 times a day every 2 hrs alternating.
So at 1 3 5 7 9 11 ect calcium and 12 2 4 6 8 10 ect alk
I do it this way as I feel it's the most stable even delivery and far enough apart that no precipatition happens.

1 large dose daily of each with a high demand tank will have a good fluctuation.

I dose alk very early in the morning, and Ca later in the day.

Your schedule is exactly what I'm thinking of doing

I let the profilux decide. I think it tries it's best to evenly space them all apart.

I split my alk cal and mag as evenly as I can throughout the whole day so it's always as constant as possible. I tried the cal and all night day but my params swinged too much

lol i sure hope not! no there's a manual setting and then one where all you do is enter number of times you want something does in a day (0-24) and how many ml each time. From what I recall it's designed to space it out so the channels down't fire at the same time...
