I am leaving for a few days and will be using a non apex auto feeder to feed the tank and want the return pump to shut off for 5 minutes after it dumps. Will this work?

Fallback ON
Set ON
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If Time 18:12 to 18:18 Then OFF

Replace the "If Time" line with
"Defer 005 then ON"
Works for me.

It is a rio 1700 return pump, I kill it so all the food doesn't just go out the overflow in to the floss when I feed. Normally I do this manually when I feed by just pressing "Feed A". Since I am gonna be gone a few days I am using a EHEIM to dump the food and want the return off for 6 minutes from 18:12-1818.

K then change the 'Defer' statement to
Defer 006 Then ON

Test and check back with us.

For the situation you describe, the code in your first post will work fine.
I would not use a Defer, as there is no trigger to turn the pump off in the first place, since you won't be using the Feed command at all with the Eheim feeder.
Be sure the two clocks are synchronized.
Remember to remove that last line when you return. :)
