Adding 30 delay to skimmer after feed mode standard library

How would I set a 30 sec delay for my skimmer to come on after I cancel the feed mode?
When pumps are off for a water change or feed mode my sump fills and when I cancel mode the water line is too high for my skimmer and the collection cup fills up. I would like the skimmer to delay a little to give the sump time to empty. What code should I add and where?
Thanks for any help,
Robert

I think the minimum is 1 minute but I think its ReefAngel.Relay.DelayedOn (Skimmerport, minute);
This is a 5 minute delay...
Example: ReefAngel.Relay.DelayedOn (Port1, 5);

Add this to your setup()

If you have the Standard Libraries (0.8.3.X), the DelayedOn will not work because it's not included.
DelayedOn will only work on the Development Libraries (0.8.5.X and above...including 0.9.X)
