Pump timer for feeding

[DebFerreira]

I am looking for a simple timer for my filter pump to turn it off for 5 to 10 minutes while feeding the fish. There are countdown timers that you plug your device into that will turn the device OFF after a set (5 to 30 min) interval. I want something that will turn off the pump for 5-10 minutes so that floating food doesn't go straight for the intake, and then turn it back on. I have a 40 gallon breeder with a Tunze in tank pump so I dont need a system controller. Any suggestions?

Smart switch’s will do that.
