First fish vs power head

[Ginu]

I normally just hit the standby mode on my reef keeper and radions which puts the mp10's in feed mode and seems to work really well for me. Reason why I turn the return pump off is so the food doesn't get sucked in the sump, and at the same time the reefkeeper also shuts off the skimmer (flooding issues) and shuts of the ato so the alarm doesn't get tripped from all.the water in the sump... Walk away and 10 min later it all turns on automatically.

I never turn the mp10's pumps completely off though.
