reefnjunkie Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 I want the feeder to feed a tank 2x a day with a single rotation (noon and 6pm) but prior to it feeding i want to turn off the return pump and a few other devises-the latter I can handle but want to check to see if the following sounds correct Under feeder config First feeding 12:00 Drum rotation 1 Feedings per day 2 Repeat interval 360 Seems correct but its not my tank so i wont be there to see if that produces what I want. Any help is appreciated TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Yes, the feeder numbers are correct. It will feed at 12:00pm and 6:00pm, one rotation each time. Let me know if you need help with coordinating the other devices to turn off prior to feeding. There are a number of ways that can be done, including the technique described in my Apex Feed Cycles tutorial: https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/neptune-apex-programming-tutorials-part-7-feed-cycles.715/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to clean up a lot of "outlets" on my own system, at my equipment peak I was running 8 energy bars for all my equipment but those days are not here anymore- Someday again but not presently. Ive actually considered the easiest path is delete all modules and start fresh, I'm down to 5 energy bars and 3 apex units LOL (my old Apex Jr doesn't count. Starting to ramble on again. Thanks John (hope that's spelled right with the H) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
