Ok, I can see communication between the lights & pumps being a useful feature for night mode, or the lightning storm business, but feed mode? How does the livestock benefit in any way from the lights controlling the pumps when it's feeding time, or vice versa? I suppose if the lights were turned way down, they need to come back to a level where the fish can see the food, but I don't know of many folks that feed their fish at night or under other low light conditions?
