Hello Everyone,

I've searched high and low and can't seem to find the correct way to set up my apex for a water change.

Kind of like Feed Mode A but for a Water Change. Instead of turning my pump/powerhead/ato/skimmer off you 10 mins, I'd like to turn it off for 30 minutes.

Can someone help?

Thanks
 
One method is to simply choose one of the other Feed B, C, or D buttons, set it for the duration you choose, then add this line to each device you want to turn off:

If FeedD 000 Then OFF

Another option is to create a virtual output rather than using a pre-defined timer. This allows you to take your time rather than being rushed if you aren't done by the time the Feed timer expires. My tutorial on Apex Virtual Outputs demonstrates a method to create a single "Maintenance" switch that turns off multiple devices with a single click:
