Hi all,
When I turn feed mode on in my Red Sea app, the water level in the sump rises substantially (as expected). When I turn off feed mode, the skimmer immediately turns on when the return pump does, before the sump level drops. The skimmer overflows and dumps a bunch of really watery skimmate.

I cant find the setting to delay the skimmer restart when feed mode ends. I see it for maintenance and emergency mode, but not feed mode.

Did the setting go missing in the latest update? Does anyone know how to set this up? Screen shot of settings attached

Are you running the new Red Sea DC skimmer in conjunction?
Yup. I figured out the answer. You have to set the feed time for the circulation pump to 30 minutes and the feed time for the skimmer pump to 35 minutes. not very intuitive because you have to go into the options for each device individually
