Hi, I just wanted to double check my program. Currently only 3 fish.

Plank Feeder should go on twice per day, at noon and 6PM For 10 seconds.
Feeder Pump is to turn on 3 minutes after feeder and stay on for 10 minutes.

Plank
Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/000:10/359:50 Then ON
If Time 19:00 to 11:59 Then OFF


Feeder Pump
Fallback OFF
OSC 003:00/010:00/347:00 Then ON
If Time 19:00 to 11:59 Then OFF

Also how would I program my return pump to turn off when the Feed Pump is on? Would this work?
OSC 003:00/010:00/347:00 Then OFF

Thanks for the help!

It looks good - but ultimately you'll need to test out the program to be 100%. The line you'd want to add to your return pump configuration is as follows (where "feedpump" is the name of the outlet):

If Output feedpump = ON Then OFF
