i just start to connect my APEX to my tank and i already have some questions:

i want to setup my main pump. so when i went to the outlet setup i got the following fields:

Initial off time (MMM:SS)
On time (MMM:SS):
Off time (MMM:SS)
Feed timer (A-D)
Feed timer delay (MMM)

what do i put in each one of the fields?

thanks a head of time.

You are in the Pump Wizard. If you are referring to your main return pump you probably want it to run all the time. Change the control type to Advanced and simply insert two statements:

Fallback ON
Set ON

This is the minimal you would need to run your return pump all the time. This statements make it so the pump is ON by default (SET) and is ON if after a power failure (Fallback). You can read about these statements in the Apex manual.

If you want Add another line like this:

If FeedA 000 Then Off

This will shut off your pump when you use feed mode. Just a thought
