    Hey guys!!

    Just got a new aquacontroller jr the other day and let me tell you. It's really awesome, like jaw dropping awesome. I'm very impressed!!

    Everything is working smoothly expect for just one thing. I can't seem to get the feeding cycle down. Right now my program looks like this (PM1% and PM2% are my powerheads in the tanks and those are the ones I wish to have off during the feed cycle):

    If FeedA >005
    then PM1% OFF

    and the same thing for PM2%

    Am I missing something here? What should I do?

    EDIT: I also had it for FeedA >000 and had it switched OFF..should it be ON? The manual explains everything else in immense detail except for the feed cycle.

    Otty may be able to help, he has an ACIII pro I believe, and the coding is pretty much the same.

    You have to give it a command to be on then shut it off with feed cycle. I turn my closed loop pump off at feed and it looks like this. I set my off time on the face of the ACIII Pro or you can put in in the line of command after "If FeedA 120" Mine is in seconds. Hope it helps.

    If Time > 00:00 Then CLP ON
    If FeedA 000 Then CLP OFF
