current stage I am at:
I have connected the kamoer dosing peristaltic pumps to the DC ports. and tested that indeed I can control them via the reefpi. they even can be switched on with less than 1 duration (0.5) just like a "click". I am about to start calibrating. Need to measure the required time per each pump for the required liquid volume.
I have stumbled on one of the posts in the forum, that Rob is saying that using a non stepper motors like I do , will result in a non stable and not accurate dosing.
Is this really the experience that people have ?
will my setup do what I need?
I am talking about the usual add-ons that people use for reef. I have a 500l system so its not very sensitive like a nano. so a little more or less of the additive should not matter much. unless I am totally wrong here. I am new to reefing...
thanks
David
