Maybe I'm not fully understanding the controlled dosing option for the Trident as it doesn't seem to do what I think it should. I've been trying to increase my alk level in my tank. So, to do so, I went through the controlled dosing wizard and set my target dKH to what I want it to be (9 dKH, while the tank was sitting around 8-8.1 dKH) and told it that it takes 20 ml of solution, in this case All for Reef to maintain that target level. I chose 20 ml based off my experience of tank uptake..or so I thought.
I changed my range to 0.2 +/- to keep the swing minimized and left the limit at +/- 35% because I was unsure if I'd need more than the 20 ml to get me to my target.
It has been running this way for...5-7 days now and while alk has climbed to around 8.6 over the course of these days, my DOS never reflects dosing more than my set 20 ml. I have stalled out now at dosing 20 ml/day and my alk sitting at 8.6 dKH.
To me, it should be dosing up to 35% more solution to get me up to my target of 9.0 dKH. Is that not how it's meant to work?
If I've been unclear I can try to clarify my concern/question.
