Powerheads/Wavemakers with a feed mode

[FishyLady]

Some of the powerheads that have a separate control have a "feed mode" where they click off for so many minutes to allow the fish to feed.
I have always turned off my canister filters at feedimg time otherwise the food just gets blown everwhere, this would be a good feature on any surface filter. comments??

I do not turn off any water movement when I feed. The scattering of the food seems to give the fish something to chase, and separates it so a bossy fish cannot gobble it all.

I don't turn off my filters or PH for feeding either. But if you feel the need to turn off both, maybe just plug them into a power strip...you'll just have to always remember to turn it back on, not something I'd swear to doing every time...

Paying extra for such a feature seems like a waste of money, but my life is not so very structured, if I understand this mode correctly.

I sink the food with my hand. Most of it falls where I want it without turning off anything.

This mode is especially useful for aquariums with delicate species or when feeding certain types of fish that require still water to feed effectively. After a set period, the device automatically resumes normal flow, ensuring the tank maintains optimal circulation.
