    Skip a feed cycle

    Hi Neptuners

    Routine feeding on my tank is performed by the AFS, which feeds 3 times a day. However when I'm home, I like to feed frozen also, but will often turn the AFS off to prevent another cycle over-feeding, but forget to turn it back on again. (Case in point, have just starved fish for 2 days...)

    Is there a programming trick I can use to get the AFS to skip the next cycle but resume automatically after that?

    Thanks

    Rob

    Use a feed timer when you do your feed such as FeedA add this line to the AFS and replace A with the feed mode you are using and replace XXX with the longest time that could occur between when you feed frozen and the AFS would rotate next.

    If FeedA XXX Then OFF
