While I don't have a plank. It should be pretty easy to program in fusion. What do you want the feeder to do? Feed how often and how much?

Don't have an Apex anymore, but I set my for 25 seconds, four times a day - followed by the pump for 15 minutes for proper hydration and distribution. I also turn down my circ pumps and the skimmer is off.

What would the programming for this be? I did this based on the manual which feeds every two hours. I would like to feed 3 times a day starting at 1 PM and ending at 9 PM.

Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/00:30/119:30 Then ON
If Time 21:00 to 12:59 Then OFF

I have a Hydros, so not sure I would be much help with Apex. I can control all of my pumps with the WaveEngine - it's as simple as setting up a feeding schedule for pumps.
