Whats up reefers? I need some help, did a bunch of research bit still having issues programming. I need programming for my Carbon doser for my Calcium reactor. I would like for the carbon doser to turn on if the ph is higher than 6.7 PH and off if it is less than 6.6 PH. For some reason it turns on slightly above 6.7 and turns off at 6.7, my solenoid turns on and off way too much. Also my neptune ATK sends me constant messages. Thank you in adcance

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If pH2 > 6.70 Then ON
If pH2 < 6.60 Then OFF
 
What about:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If pH2 > 6.70 Then ON
If pH2 < 6.70 Then OFF
Defer 001:00 Then ON

As for the ATK, which component is sending you messages?
Thanks, I'll give that a shot. What does that do give it a minute break? As for the ATK If ATK_HI CLOSED Then ON. I have a crap load of netpune equipment and Im starting to lose faith. Is it because the sensors keep shifting because of the weak magnets? The ATK is new to my system, I switched from Tunze ATO.

Yes. If pH is fluctuating around that ~6.7 range this should (hopefully) reduce the amount the solenoid gets triggered. You might also want to try a "Defer 000:30 Then OFF" statement as well. I added a Neptune ATK kit to my system earlier in the summer. This is the programming I use (anything including including/after "‘«««" is just my comments for you):

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If FeedD 000 Then OFF ««« Feed Mode D is "maintenance" mode for me, so turn ATK off
If LEAK CLOSED Then OFF ««« Added a leak detection floor sensor
If ATK_RO OPEN Then OFF ««« Added an optical sensor to the RO reservoir
If ATK_LO OPEN Then ON
If ATK_HI CLOSED Then OFF ««« I think this is where you had the issue
When On > 006:00 Then OFF ««« This will permanently turn the ATK off if it exceeds 6 minutes
Defer 000:10 Then ON
Defer 000:04 Then OFF
Min Time 030:00 Then OFF

Note that I have an external 15-gallon RO reservoir that tops up an internal 7-gallon gravity-fed RO reservoir. The reason for this is so that the Neptune sensors remain in RO water, don't accumulate anything and require virtually zero maintenance.

If my reservoir ever gets really low I run the ATK manually by turning it to ON, set a timer and manually watch it to ensure it doesn't overfill. Then I switch it back to AUTO. If it runs for more than 6 minutes it will *permanently* revert to OFF until I manually switch it back to AUTO (this is a failsafe to prevent the tank or reservoir from flooding; something the Tunze doesn't have).

Thanks, I dont have a leak detector or an optical sensor in my reservoir. Should I use this part of your programming?

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If FeedD 000 Then OFF
If ATK_LO OPEN Then ON
If ATK_HI CLOSED Then OFF
When On > 006:00 Then OFF
Defer 000:10 Then ON
Defer 000:04 Then OFF
Min Time 030:00 Then OFF

Should work, yes (if your Feed Mode is different, just change that accordingly). "Min Time 030:00 Then OFF" means it won't run more than once every 30 minutes.

I'll give it a shot. Once again thank you, I appreciate your help.
