    Did you cancel the feed? If so that's your problem. If not you must have used the wrong feed because the code looks right.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    Well Zombie you nailed it it's working the first try I must of cancelled it without thinking it would affect the feed cycle and cancelling my skimmer program for feedB. Last night i rand FeedB for feeding my corals and left it be and yep 60 minutes after my skimmer came back on! Thanks again.
