    Vortech NTM after feed mode

    I'd like my Vortechs to run in Nutrient transport mode for 30 minutes following my evening feeding only, using Feed A which lasts 5 minutes

    I programmed a virtual outlet, named MP40NutON:

    Set OFF
    If FeedA 035 Then ON
    Defer 005:00 Then On
    If Time 00:01 to 15:59 Then OFF

    Then programmed MP40R (right side)

    If Output MP40NutON = ON Then NutTrans
    If FeedA 000 Then Feed

    and MP40L (left side)

    If Output MP40NutON = ON Then AntiSynch
    If FeedA 000 Then Feed




    Where "Feed" is a profile to run in constant at 10%, "NutTrans" is a profile for NTM, and "Antisynch" is a profile to run in antisynch mode.

    Does this sound right?

    Thanks for feedback and help

    The way you have it programmed will run constant for the first 5 minutes of the feed followed by 35 minutes of nutrient transport mode unless you initiate the feed between midnight and 3pm.

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

    Perfect! That is exactly what I want, except that I'd like it to run in NTM for 30 min vs. 35 which is an easy fix.

    Personally, I run NTM during feeding, because fish can feed faster when food is still in the water column...and waiting till it all settles will allow a lot of it to settle into places of the rock that NTM won't get it out and the fish can't get to it.
