How much time to wait between dosing calcium and alk?

[DVal]

Can I set my dos to alternate calcium and alk every 30 minutes without issues with precipitation? Or is this too soon between doses? This will be over 24 hrs, so doses will be small. I'm setting up my dos and trying to figure out how long I should wait between dosing calcium and alk.

All you need is enough time for the ALK or Ca to be mixed in the tank. I would think that 30 minutes would be ample.

That's a plenty long delay.

Usually 10 or so mins between.
