Was trying to target feed my ailing scoly with the pumps off and it's TDO pellet kept drifting away. Finally realized it was the Plank Sicce pump creating a light current. Unplugged it, but forgot on Sat PM to replug it in. Now the Plank has been going off 4x Sun and will go off 4x tomorrow. Think some of the food will come out of the tube, or will I arrive to a tube full of Reef Jerky and TDO pellets? Fish probably going to be hangry on Tuesday...

I’ve done this and while I’m not sure if some made it’s way out on its own, I did have a tube full of food

Put the plank on a Kasa wifi dual outlet and you can set the schedule and control the outlet from your phone app

I have them on both my tanks, super easy to setup and configure. Limited to 1 min intervals (can’t have plank run for 45 seconds, or partial minutes)
Put the feed auger on a one outlet and set a schedule
Put the Sicce on the other outlet and set to always on with no schedule. Use the app to turn the outlet off for maintenance.

The shameful part is that I have the Plank on a wifi outlet! I just didn't want to mess with my phone while I had the feeder pipette and a 15mL tube in my hands. So I just unplugged the pump instead.
