I was thinking about using solenoids connected to my Apex and running a splitter line from a reservoir of RODI water to solve the flushing of the food lines. So basically 2 lines joining into one line.
Solenoid from food container before splitter. And separate line from RODI reservoir before splitter.
Controller would tell the solenoid to open the food line when it's time to feed. Close when done. But when it closes the food line, the pump would pump from the RODI reservoir to flush the lines for however long you want.
If you're worried about salinity drift, use a reservoir of fresh saltwater to flush.
I haven't thought this through thoroughly, but I think the concept should work.
