Hi All,

Due to keeping Dendronepthya I need to dose every hour on the hour, Any help on how? - only 8 timed programmes, I have tried everything to use Auto Dosing but still cannot dose on the hour, always 10 mins past or 10 mins before.

Thanks

Dan

you not the only one , which same to have this 'issue' but there is a simple solution. Don't know why do you need to have it ON the hour ?
dendro's don't have an internal clock :)))) so they will not know it :)

Hi,
Thanks,
My Skimmer and Main return Pump are timed on the hour to shut down for 20 Minutes, This gives my Dendronephthya/Sclereo some time to stuff food down them selves. As you know they have to be continuously Fed. The skimmer is a TC2060 which really does take food out of the water quite quickly.

I agree at the moment the Dendro's do not know what time it is, But my Sun Coral and one of the Sea fans does.

Thanks
Dan

As you can see 'the Old One',

I mean to say My Skimmer and Main Return pump shut down for 20 Minutes every hour, 6 times a day only.

On the Requests, I shall be requesting a start time even for Auto dosing.

I know that it probably depends on the save time for Auto Doser, but I cannot make it work like on the Hour.

Thanks

Dan
