I'm sure this exists, but perhaps I'm not using the right words in my search queries...

I currently have a cheaper jaebao return pump on my 75 gallon reef tank. It works just fine and has a "feed" button I can press to shut off the pump for 10 mins so I can feed the tank. Yea, pretty basic stuff here. I have an auto feeder I want to put on the tank with pellets in it, but if the pump is still running most of the pellets are pulled into the overflow and are not eaten.

I'm looking for a new DC return pump that still has the manual "feed" button, but that I can program to turn off at say 0858 so when my feeder kicks at 0900 the food doesn't get sucked down the filter.

I know I can get a wifi outlet and program that to cut power at certain times, but I kinda thought it isn't a bad idea to have a spare return pump and this is a good excuse to get another on, just with newer features I find I need now.


Thoughts or recommendations?
 
I use ai axis pumps and you can completely program the times and flow rates throughout the day, they are amazing.
