Skimmer Timer for Apex

[ShoreReefer]

Hello, I recently got a clam for the tank from pacific east aquaculture and want to start dosing Phyto daily. It says to turn the skimmer off for 1 hour after dosing, is there a way to turn the skimmer off and set a timer to come back on after an hour? TIA

If the doser is on an outlet.

Defer - time format is minutes.

Fallback OFF
Set ON
If Output (output name) = ON Then OFF
Defer 060:00 Then ON

Or you can set it by time. 24-hour format.

Fallback OFF
Set ON
If Time 09:00 to 10:00 then OFF

How are you dosing?

I'm dosing by hand at night. Different times each night depending on availability. I was wondering if i manually turn the skimmer off on the apex if I could set a timer to come back on an hour after i turn it off.
Thanks for the reply

Here is one for the skimmer outlet. You initiate feedmode and then the skimmer restarts in 60 minutes.

Fallback OFF
Set ON
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
Defer 060:00 Then ON

I do the same you're trying to achieve but have a button. I hold the button for 3 seconds to activate feed mode when feeding greasy frozen food then my skimmer goes off and restarts each pump in sequence with delay (skimmer has 2 pumps)

Code in post #6 should work for you - you'd activate feedmode via fusion or the LCD.

This is the better option is manually dosing.

If you already use Feed A for feeding, you can assign it to a different feed or create a virtual outlet and turn the skimmer off that way. Use the VO name in place of the FeedA.

Thank you all for the info! I configure feed mode A to this.

Configure Feed Mode A, if you don't use it for Feeding. Otherwise you also have B, C, D you can use.
