Got the timer, set it up to 1 min. runs.
Now comes the on/off for ages trying to figure out the intervals.

I finally got tired of doing that. I ended up using a small plastic container (a recycled yogurt container in this case) set the timer temporarily for like one minute a couple of minutes from now, held the container under the "tap" and waited until it ran its minute. Marked the container to that height, then got a cheapie plastic pitcher which I put 14 fillings (two weeks) of the measured yogurt container into, then marked
that as two weeks worth, figured up two weeks worth of ferts and dumped 'em in, mixed 'em up real good then poured the pitcher full of fertilizer solution into the delivery system container under the stand. Then re-set the timer for its "real" delivery time.
It's been working like a champ
(Thanks, Wasserpest!) No more hit or miss dosing (I've got a memory like a sieve) and the tank looks great for a change (knock on wood.)
