i have a AF4 auto feeder hooked up to my reef tank with a Variable Output so the apex can send a 0-10v signal to the AF4 to trigger it to feed im trying to figure out how i can make the apex trigger the AF4 then wait 1 min then turn off return pump for 5 min so fish can eat the food then turn the return back on after the 5 min reason for the 1 min delay is because the AF4 doses the food into the return pump name of the AF4 Variable Output is AF4TrigFeed if you could help me with the code side im still working on with my apex Thank you

I’ve had good luck using chat gpt to help write the correct prompts for my various apex items.

Let me just say that 30 seconds after my af4 is triggered by my Apex all of the food is gone. I used to turn off pumps but not really necessary. They are so tuned into the feeding that it's gone almost instantly.
