    New to ProgrammingI

    I have a return pump,skimmer and a Gyre xf-150 controlled by a Ice Cap,I would like to shut down all in-order to feed my fish.
    This is my program for my return pump
    Set ON
    If Output RetPump_2_3 = OFF Then OFF
    If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON
    This is my program for skimmer
    Set ON
    If Output RetPump_2_3 = OFF Then OFF
    If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON
    What do I need to stop my Gyre at the same time.

    return pump
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedA 000 Then OFF

    skimmer
    Set ON
    If Output RetPump_2_3 = OFF Then OFF
    If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON

    Gyre
    (Existing code)
    If FeedA 000 Then OFF

    Or create a slow pulsing profile at a very low intensity and replace OFF with the profile name. That will help suspend food but not move it too fast.

    Here's my return pump:
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedA 000 Then OFF
    If FeedB 000 Then OFF
    If FeedC 000 Then OFF
    If FeedD 000 Then OFF


    Here's my skimmer program:
    Fallback OFF
    Set ON
    If SumpHi OPEN Then OFF
    If Leaks CLOSED Then OFF
    If SkimHi OPEN Then OFF
    If Output Ret_Pump_L = OFF Then OFF
    If Output Ret_Pump_R = OFF Then OFF
    If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON

    I don't have a Gyre, I use 2 WAVs, but here's my program. Ignore all the tdata stuff.
    Fallback OFF
    tdata 00:00:00,0,0,30,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 08:00:00,0,0,30,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 12:00:00,0,0,60,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 16:00:00,0,0,60,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 20:00:00,0,0,60,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    tdata 23:59:00,0,0,30,2,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
    If FeedA 000 Then 1 this tells the WAV to run at 1% during the feed cycle like zombie suggested at the end of his post, instead of turning off all together. Maybe you can do something similar.
    If FeedB 000 Then OFF
    If FeedC 000 Then OFF
    If FeedD 000 Then OFF
    If Power Apex Off 001 Then WAV_Slow This tells the WAV to run a low speed profile to conserve energy until power is restored. I only use this command on one WAV. The other shuts off when power is lost.

    ​This my program for my skimmer to shut off at the same time as my return pump thanks to Zombie

    Fallback OFF
    Set ON
    If Output RetPump_2_3 = OFF Then OFF
    If Power Apex Off 001 Then OFF
    Defer 005:00 Then ON

    This is my program for my Gyre

    If Time 08:00 to 09:00 Then Ramp_Up
    If Time 09:00 to 18:00 Then Pulse
    If Time 18:00 to 19:00 Then Ramp_Down
    If Time 19:00 to 08:00 Then Night
    If FeedA 000 Then OFF

    My Gyre does not shut off with the rest of the equipment,I need it to shut off at the same time as the rest,need some help,Unless I press Feed A only then it will shut off,I do not what that,I want it to shut off like the pump and skimmer.

    That should do the trick, but I'm not super familiar with Gyres. Does it turn OFF When you manually set the outlet to OFF?

    Yes when it's manually turned off the gyre will turn off,however not automatically when all the others turn off.
