    Hello fellow reefers,

    I'm looking to change up the way I dose my kalk and am looking at the OSC function in the Apex to use. After reading the comprehensive guide over a few times I need help from one of you guys that are programming savvy to clarify this function. From my understanding if you set up the function to run and the total time of OFF/ON/OFF adds up to an hour, it counts from midnight on. However I was looking at setting up mine to where every 20 min it turns on my kalk pump for 5 sec. I was thinking of doing a command such as:

    Fallback OFF
    OSC 000:00/000:05/020:00 Then ON
    If pH > 8.26 Then OFF

    Would this work? Setting it up like this doesn't have the times add up to an hour, but from what I understand, it shouldn't matter with the function. And it says that anything that doesn't add up to an hour or 24 hours it calculates from January 1996?!?! Lol, I feel like an idiot trying to figure this out.
