Feeding Mode for Return Pumps
Does any device exist that would create a temporary feeding mode for return pumps, similar to those featured with wave pump controllers?

If you could use a delay start relay perhaps, but I'm no electrician.

If you have an aquarium controller with 0-10v and a pump with 0-10v, that is an easy way to set an feeding mode. Some DC pumps have a feed mode as well.
If you have an internal skimmer, the skimmer will go nuts and overflow if you shut or slow the pump down. I am not a big fan of feed mode on return pumps. I prefer to let the return pump distribute the food to the fish and corals.
