Apex Feed Mode Programming

[Letterkenny]

I was wondering if there are any Apex people out there that could help me out with programming feed modes. I have it set up and working per the sticky’s but I would like to modify it to include my Vortech pumps. Mainly, would like to set them at a 5-10% speed when feed is triggered. Any ideas?

Have you read my Apex Feed Cycle tutorial? https://www.reef2reef.com/ams/neptune-apex-programming-tutorials-part-7-feed-cycles.715/

If you are using the technique from my tutorial, then you can simply add this to your Vortechs:

If Output vFeed = ON Then 5

If you are using the standard Apex Feed commands, then use this:

If FeedA 000 Then 5

Just change "5" to the percentage you want it to run.

Yes I read that as I said in my original post. However, this isn’t covered there. I can give it a try but is it that simple given all the different WXM command strings? I believe that’s right with the return pump given it’s a COR but not with the MP40s via WXM.

I wasn't sure which "sticky's" you were referring to, as Neptune has their own.

Using percentages with Vortechs controlled through a WXM is just that simple. See this post about using percentages in programming, and note Vortechs are included: https://forum.neptunesystems.com/showthread.php?20677-Using-percentages-in-programming

Thanks that’s helpful. Is it possible to go more complex and add a defer to put it in nutrient export mode for 30 minutes after feeding?
