how do i track when a pump comes on so i know that they are running when they should and what not.
i also saw some one calibrating the pumps and dosing by the ml.
i know you need custom code to do this stuff but i dont know to much about coding or what lines i need to use. does any one have any code that i can use that's just for this?

That would be me. I did write a standalone batch of code that was easier to use, you'd have to search for it though. If you can find the thread I'll help you get it integrated for your code.

I finely have a chance to play around whit the ra this week and I looked and I dont see just that code posted anywhere.
And for some reason my alk is 1/2 full and the ca is about 3/4 full whit the pumps runing the same amount of time a hour and the drip rate looks about the same between pumps.
I would really like a way to track that the pumps are runing when they should be but have no cule how to do this

No two dosing pumps will pump the same rate. You need to calibrate them to find the actual rate. Post your code and I'll see what I can find thats been done so you can load. I may have some time tomorrow to get you something back. You'll still need to do the calibration at some point.

}
does that look right?

Lee, does this post
http://forum.reefangel.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=3262 contain the standalone batch code that you are referring too?
