how to shut off pumps for feeding ?

[mpls man]

does anyone have any ideas for shutting off my pumps during feeding times for my corals, instaed of unplugging each item by it self. :thinking:

If you don't mind splicing some wires, Home Depot (or any place that sells electrical supplies) sells little ON/OFF Switches that you install (very easy) right into the power cord line of the pump or powerhead or whatever.
I like these since you can shut off exactly the item you want.

Put a ball valve on the return line and reduce it to minimal flow for five minutes, once all the food is eaten, then open her back up.
