I want to make sure I have this perfect as I will be dosing ammonia to my tank using a BRS doser

I want to dose 10mL of fluid twice a day with the first dose at 7am (10mL) and the second dose at 7pm (10mL), for a total of 20mL/day. I'm assuming a flow rate of 1mL/min but I am okay if it's a little off. Does this code look right?

Fallback OFF
OSC 420:00/010:00/290:00 Then ON

Thanks Ben always good to have a second set of eyes on it.
here you go:
I tried that but with the code I got it seemed like it would only dose once. I’ll try to post it but I’m away from my computer at the moment.

If you haven't already when in doubt one thing I do is fill up the dosing container with RODI water. This way I can safely test without worrying about. Small dosing amounts it is safe or can do externally to display using whatever container(s) you have.

Wouldn’t something like this work?

Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/010:00/710:00 Then ON
If Time 19:11 to 06:59 then Off

Great advice this is what I was planning on doing. I am coming back from vacation and will do it to confirm.
