You can control the % it changes so nothing happens fast...I will add, I've never tried automated testing and dosing, and honestly I would never (or not at least for a very long time) trust that sort of thing. Too easy for test error or reagent issue to lead to potential big problems IMO. Automated Kalk and a bit of two part, if needs change I need to adjust manually and I want it that way.
Yup thanks. I understand but it's a trust thingYou can control the % it changes so nothing happens fast...
From my real life experience from my customers, there were several tank crashes with thousands of $ of coral wiped out by linking Trident to dosing pumps. Hopefully other controllers perform better.I will add, I've never tried automated testing and dosing, and honestly I would never (or not at least for a very long time) trust that sort of thing.

Had my trident controlled dosing set up for years. What I have seen on other forums with issue to wipe outs and controlled dosing is when the dosing is set people leave the percentages open way to far to allow for a quick change in dosing. If people shorten these percentages and the range of the test is outside the percent change you will get a notification of it which will let you correct it manually. Also when it’s outside the test range the apex defaults back to the schedule the user inputted from the start.From my real life experience from my customers, there were several tank crashes with thousands of $ of coral wiped out by linking Trident to dosing pumps.

While I’m sure there are some malfunctions absolutely, nothing works 100%. I guess what I’m trying to say is that if the apex is installed correctly and programmed with failsafes, even with some malfunctions the system has failsafes to prevent catastrophe. I had an apex brain malfunction under warranty a few years ago and with the malfunction the systems fail safes ie only pumps running for xxxx seconds before shutting down still worked. With that being said I do have wet sensors and manual backup floats to prevent catastrophe.Actually these incidents were mostly due to malfunctions, not related to settings.
