Vortechs and feeding mode

Post by vonjankmon »

Question about the RF expansion module, when I activate feeding mode on my Reef Angel will it put my Vortech into feeding mode also or do I need to write some custom code for it?

Thanks,

Should work out of the box when going into feeding mode.

Awesome, thanks folks. Still waiting on my Wireless expansion since they're back ordered but trying to get everything else setup and ready to go.

Is the feeding mode on a Reef Angel timed at all? The feeding mode for the vortechs is 15 minutes but it just occurred to me that I don't know much about the Reef Angel feeding mode. Is it just a manual on/off setting or is it on a timer and if so how long? If it isn't on some timer is there a way to set that up so that feeding mode ends after 15-20 minutes?

Thanks again,

Its on a timer. You can change it through the portal. The ra does turn on/off the feeding mode, but if the vortechs are shorter than the feeding mode on ra, vortech will stop feeding mode first. I set mine to the longest possible and let ra handle on/off.
