victoly Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Fallback OFF OSC 510:00/000:30/930:00 Then ON The oscillate function turns an outlet on for X minutes, off for Y minutes, on for Z minutes: OSC X:Y:Z You can get down to minute resolution using the If Time function, to get seconds you have to use oscillate, i think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Bio)³ Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 FYI I've got a display people are welcome to borrow. If your a newer member ill ask for fully refundable deposit since it is around 150 for the display I think. Soggydollar has used it a few times to fix his jr and find network settings when he couldn't access it with computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aggieMEDIC Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Apparently you must have a display to change it from celsius to ferinheight. Anyone have a display I can borrow for 5 min? I see dead people. Then I bring them back to life. got this fixed, once updated the firmware there was an option for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esacjack Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 yeah i was about to mention that it should be there after the firmware update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieMEDIC Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Took out the top-off and put a powerhead into the tank and plugged it in. I figure I will get a dc8 and a breakout box. Plug in a momentary switch to activate a feed timer timed to 30 sec. When its pressed it will turn on the top-off. Ill setup Another switch that will turn off the powerhead for feeding. Just need to find the breakout box and the dc8 I see dead people. Then I bring them back to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 I don't recommend Neptune's breakout box. It's better you go the diy route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Bio)³ Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Probably better connections and more secure to build your own than use those clips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Yup, the "clips" on the Neptune-built breakout box are flimsy and can only handle a couple small gauge wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerrickH Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Shouldnt need anything additional for feed mod. Just set the command "IF FEED A ON THEN OFF" on your powerhead outlet config. Verbiage may be off a bit but I think you get my drift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbiage may be off a bit but I think you get my drift The reason for the breakout box or another version of it is so I can walk up to the tank. Press a button and the powerhead shuts off for a prescribed time period. That way I dont have to get my phone or computer out, just to feed the fish. Or my wife or daughter can do it without me home.
