    Question Program to Reduce Power on Wav powerheads while feeding corals

    While feeding corals, in Feed B, I would like the two Wav powerheads to go at minimum power(not OFF, say at 2%) and Constant mode for 15 mins.

    Could someone share a program statement for it please?
    I already have the statements for the return pump and skimmer. I just do not know how to set the Wav powerheads to just ‘Reduce Power’.

    Appreciate your help. Thank you in advance!

    Set feedB duration to 15 minutes then use

    If FeedB 000 Then 2

    You could also set up a specific feed profile if you wanted to do a gentle oscillation/pulse:

    If FeedB 000 Then [feed_profile_name]

    You would need to make feedB 5 minutes long and then do this

    If FeedB 025 Then profilename
    If FeedB 000 Then OFF

    How should I write program for the Wav Power Heads to:

    - Off for the first 5 mins
    - On in 2% power (for the duration of Feed B)

    Thank you!!

    Great! thanks again zombie! I feel stupid. I didn’t know you could write Two feed lines. I was wrapped up in thinking I have to combine two commands in one line of Feed

    Yep. You can do some crazy things by overlapping lines of code in the right way.
