Apex feed cycle help

[reefmaster70]

Ok, I am fairly new to Apex and know just enough to be dangerous! LoL.

Anyway, now that I have everything set up and working, I wanted to set up the "A" feed cycle. Just a simple set up. I have my return pump and skimmer plugged into an eb832 and my mp10 and Gyres plugged into an older EB8. I would simply like the return pump, skimmer and mp10 and Gyres all to shut off for 15 minutes for feeding. What should I label my in tank pumps? Should they be spigots, or advanced or??? And do you set that channel to Auto or to On?? Right now for some reason my return pump and skimmer will shut off when. I push feed cycle A, but my Gyres and mp10 don't turn on until I hit the feed cycle A , once I do, they power on for some reason. Any help would be great.

The above link is what I reference often.

As for feeding, I leave my powerheads on when I'm feeding the fish.... I feel they need to work for their food. I do turn off my return pump and ATO.

For spot feeding corals I turn it all off.
