Automatic Dosing Schedule
A selection of "quick-set" automated dosing schedules can be set to run for each head on a regular daily
basis, or on selected days of the week. Additional manual doses can be added at any time and without
disrupting an automated schedule. The schedule can also be switched on and off as required, without losing
your settings.
Single dose, Hourly dose and Custom Periods dose schedules are based on a desired total daily dose (total
amount of supplement that should be dosed per day) for each head. The schedule will divide the total daily
dose volume equally between the total number (1-24) doses per day, so that you can easily update your
daily dose volume anytime. Individual doses may vary by up to 1 drop throughout the day to ensure the
single drop accuracy for the complete daily dose. The total daily dose per head can be from 0.2ml up to
1000ml in increments of 0.1ml, however the smallest individual dose is limited to 0.2ml.
You can change the total daily dose or the number of doses whenever desired. ReefDose will automatically
recalculate the dosing schedule for the rest of the day and if necessary will present you with options
regarding how to proceed. For example, if you increase the daily dose in the middle of the day when some
doses have already been given and there are still some more doses to give, ReefBeat will prompt you to
choose between dosing the new volume per dose for the remaining doses of today, or increase them to
compensate for the doses that were already given at the previous volume.
The Timer schedule enables you to set up to 24 doses each with its unique volume and specific time. The
ReefBeat will present the total daily dose, however, this is the sum of the individual doses and therefore
any changes to the schedule need to be done at the level of the individually set doses. When setting a
timer schedule the new schedule will be implemented immediately, without taking into account any of the
doses that may have been given earlier.
The automatic schedules can operate on three possible Dosing rates:
1) Whisper – approximately 15ml/minute.
2) Regular – approximately 30ml/minute.
3) Turbo – approximately 45ml/minute.
The dosing rate selected In Single dose and Hourly dose is applied to all doses in the schedule. In Custom
dose, a dosing rate is selected for each time period. In Timer schedule, the dosing rate can be selected for
each individual dose.
The "Dynamic Dosing Queue" in the unit combines the setting for the individual heads into a coordinated
