Hey guys! What is the easiest way to activate different length feed pauses?

Currently I have my feed pause set to "Filter 1". My Gyres, skimmer, and return pump are set to "Filter 1", and work as they should when I start Feed Pause 1. Now I want a longer feed pause for when I want to target feed coral. How do I set up Feed Pause 2 to lets say a 60 minute feed? Do I have to setup up Program Logic for this because each switch only has the ability to have one function, either "Filter 1" or "Filter 2" etc....
 
Yes.
You can assign both Feed Pause functions to a single powerbar socket when you use programmable logic.

  1. Create your 1st and 2nd feed pause; specify duration of each FP and type-in a description
  2. Go to Programmable Logic settings, select an unused gate
  3. Set function to AND
  4. Set Input 1 to (your first FP)...Set Input 2 to (your second FP)...type-in a description
  5. Go to Switch channels settings page, select the skimmer and return pump, set the function for each to Programmable Logic (Choose the gate number you used in step 2), save settings
