I have the older style dual pump reef angel dosing pump and wish to deliver 4 liquid oz of material a day. Can someone help me with the math to determine the run time and the line of code to drive it. Thx in advance.

4oz is about 120ml
You need to pump about 160s per day at 0.75ml/s

so I'll be using the 1/4" tubing that came with it...so this means this pump moves liquid at .75ml/s? Thx
