I have an EcoSmart Live setup with 3 Vortech powerheads, 2 Radion Lights, and a Vectra S1 return pump. When I enable 'feed mode' I would really like for the Vortech pumps to turn OFF. Even when the Vortech's are set to "Barely" in Feed Mode there is WAY TOO MUCH current in the tank. I would like the option of "OFF" in Feed Mode. Btw, the Vortech feed mode speed terminology is terrible. "Barely" "Lowest" "50% of Lowest" ? Who was the genius who thought those terms would be understandable?

Thanks.

I realize that ESL is a dead product, but I will using it for the foreseeable future.
