I like James' training approach - for those of us who aren't geared to
shutting off separate pumps etc perhaps just a timer on the lights would be
enough to give the fish their "cue" ?

<< Then when I went to auto feeders, I just bought timers and
tied the s.p. bar for pumps to them too. The whole system worked great
too. Two things I should say if you need to set up a system like this.
As you may guess there is room for mistakes, timing the auto feeders and
timeing pumps to work together took a bit of time, I ended up shutting
the pumps five min. before and ten min. after. The auto feeders(when I
only had two tanks set up(in the military moving is a fact of life)) had
to tested a lot to make sure they didn't over/under feed. When we go go
on one of our many diving trips, I have someone come in every day to
feed, I show them how to shut off the s.p. bar for the pumps and now the
cups have the day printed on them.
One real last note; my better half now thinks it's cool that all fish
come to her when she feeds with the pumps off. "They are like
puppies".>>
