Hi all,
When I turn feed mode on in my Red Sea app, the water level in the sump rises substantially (as expected). When I turn off feed mode, the skimmer immediately turns on when the return pump does, before the sump level drops. The skimmer overflows and dumps a bunch of really watery skimmate.

I cant find the setting to delay the skimmer restart when feed mode ends. I see it for maintenance and emergency mode, but not feed mode.

Did the setting go missing in the latest update? Does anyone know how to set this up? Screen shot of settings attached

I may have just answered my own question (correct me if I’m wrong), but I’m posting here to help anyone in the future.

I just set the feed mode length to 30min for the skimmer but 27min for the return pump. Hopefully that fixes it.

Hi I just upgraded to the red sea skimmer, did you have any issues with the skimmer not turning off and over filling in feed mode?

You have to set it to turn off in feed mode… then set feed mode length to 27min for pumps and 30 min for skimmer
