Let me know, I need a favor... looking for help with something on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.
 
Sorry for the delayed response guys. I have limited access to the internet down here, and just was able to get in front of the CPU.

If someone can, I would like someone to stop by and run an alk test for me. Today or tomorrow would be great if someone can swing it (the sooner the better since last test was Sunday morning before I left). Give me a call if you think you can, and let me know when you would be available. Then I can make sure someone is home to let you in.

Thanks guys... I really appreciate the help.
 
Thanks a ton for helping me out Nate. :thumbsup:

I finally was able to utilize the remote access feature of my AC3 to make my adjustments.
 
Is that the $90ish dollar peristolic pump they have on BRS that doses 1 ml per min, so you just change the time by whatever increment you want to dose the tank? I add kalkwasser as my makeup water from a still reservoir, but it's not keeping up with the draw on my tank anymore, so I'm going to have to supplement with 2 part. I ordered a bunch of the DIY 2 part stuff from BRS this week, and eventually adding a pump like that sure would be nice.
 
It's the Drew's Dosing pump, and it's has 4 rollers. (The other pumps only have 2 rollers I believe). I think they state the flow rate around 1.5 ml per minute, but each pump's rate can vary so you have to test it after you purchase it. I have 3 pumps and the flow rates are 1.2 ml/min, 1.6 ml/min, 1.5 ml/min.

Then like you mentioned... you just adjust the time the pump kicks on based on your flow rate, and how much you need to dose.

I believe I set my my pumps to kick on 5 times per day, and the time ranges anywhere from 8-10 minutes each time depending on the particular pump. It tried to spread the daily dose over multiple smaller doses throughout the day to minimize the pH effect, as well as to try and add soem stability to the levels vs a 1 shot dose each day.
