Yes, however not through the WXM like the MP's and Radions are connected. I have a Vectra and was surprised to discover the WXM didn't support it. In the past, I utilized feed mode to turn off the return pump so that the food would stay in the display and not end up in the filter socks.
The Vectra has a neat feature that allows the pump to slow down but not completely turn off and if you set it right, it runs just fast enough to keep the water in the main tank and prevents it from siphoning back through the return pipes. I came up with a way to utilize feed mode and switch the Vectra to that low setting. It required a battery back up and the Vectra adapter cable for the back up.
I simply plugged the Vectra pump to an apex controlled outlet and programmed that outlet to be shut off during feed A, once the power was off the Vectra shifted to battery back up, at which point I programmed the pump to barely trickle water into the main display preventing the food from overflowing into the filter socks.
