Hello I have the AF4 frozen food feeder for my tank it’s connected to my x4 through the 0-10v cable I have it set to feed 3 times a day in 5 hour intervals what I can’t figure out is I want to control my pumps that are connected to my wave engine to reduce flow but I cant figure out how to program this so that they reduce flow 1 minute before each feeding any help would be appreciated
 
You have to set it in the schedules that you're running. You might have to run multiple schedules.

1 - 0:00:00 to 1 minute before first feeding
2 - 1 minute before feeding until a few minutes after feeding (15-20?)
3 - a few minutes after feeding until 1 minute before 2nd feeding
4 - repeat 2
5 - repeat 3
6 - repeat 2
7 - a few minutes after feeding until 23:59:59

On your pumps make sure the "Used in Schedules" shows that schedule.
