During feeding mode, the HYDROS will automatically stop all pumps (Direct Connect and 0-10v), allowing tank inhabitants to eat.
In some circumstances, the hobbyists may prefer to slow down the flow pumps to minimum speed instead of turning them OFF and allow the slow-eating inhabitant to feed.
TIP: If you want to run the pumps at minimum speed during feeding, refer to the Feeding Schedule on the Schedule Examples section of the left navigation.
