Default Bye Bye Dori - Vortech is the Culprit

Well after many times of watching our Hippo Tang wander in one of the MP40's during feed mode (pumps off), today I forgot to check before cancelling the feed mode, by the time I figured out where my 3 year old daughter's favorite fish was, the pumps were on in full force.
Poor Dori had a gash on her side and was gone

Not blaming anyone, but I'm a little surprised that Apex doesn't have a option to set the pumps to low during feed mode, instead of booby trap mode.

Just thought I would let keepers know, as I never heard of this happening before it happened to me. Mind the "Feed Mode" AKA "Murderer Mode"

Now I have the night to figure out how to explain this to my daughter before she asks where Dori is tomorrow morning.

I'm sure I'll hear from the tang police. Let me explain. It's a 5 foot tank, and the hippo tang was 1-1/2". I'm planning on upgrading to a suitable tank in the in the next 18 months.
