Auto Feeder for Controller?

[iwannareef]

Is there an auto feeder for a reef controller?

I want an auto feeder...but need to sync it with the sump pump and wavemaker pumps.

I can do timers...but if the power fails, things will get out of sync. I want to make sure things will stay in sync.

I am into automation...and want to automate this totally. Yes, I am aware that if I have all of my eggs in one automation basket, I am setting myself up for a 1 point of failure, but want to make sure everything stays in sync.

I was thinking about a RKL to automate with, but is there a better way or do I need to use something else and what do I need for a fish feeder?

I want something to feed the fish for now.

Just set up the feeder to feed at "x" time, have the return / powerheads turn off 1 min before, and start 2-3 minutes later. Do this via a dummy timer on the acjr.

Or program something like this "if time= (feed time of day), then feedA"
this should send your controller into feed mode, and depending on how you have your feed mode programmed, you can have your return and powerheads shut off at feed time, then start back up 5 mins later etc. As for power outage, the feeders run on batteries, so shouldnt be a factor.

I believe these feeders are what you are looking for but double check. I think they can be remotely triggered via aquarium controllers.
