ReefKeeper help.

I am going out of town next week, and no one will be available to feed my tank. I have an auto feeder, but I am having trouble setting my RKE to turn pumps on and off at set times for feeding.

I need my two vortechs and my return pump to go off at "x o'clock", my feeder will feed shortly afterward. The vortechs will come on 15 minutes later, and finally the return pump 15 minutes after that.

I set all pumps up with the Multi-Timer functions, but it seems not to recognize the inputs. The timer function seems to only turn things 'on', then 'off'...not 'off', then 'on'.

Anyone with the knowledge how to achieve this, please help me out.

Thanks,
Andy

 

Hello
The way I got mine is I only have a timer for my T5 lights, so my pumps and powerheads always stay on. For your lights there are some timers of 1, 2, or 3 outlets at your local home depot store. There only like $10 - $20 dollars. I am currently using them and they work great. Your pumps, skimmer (if you have one), and powerhead should remain on.

As far as your aqutomatic feeder not really sure what to tell you. I have never done automatic feeders but I believe the pet stores have something for that. The best thing I can tell you is call your local aquarium store and see if they sell like 5 or 10 day feeders.

 

I have all the equipment I need. I am needing RKE programming help. My lights are controlled separately and have nothing to do with feedings. I do multiple feedings daily, so the Multi-Timer function is what I figured I need to use.

 

Okay by any chace you got a picture of the multi - timer or an exact model of it? Ill see if I can find you something to set it

Try this manual. I believe one of these are the correct one. It should tell you how to set the timers for your needs
