AVAST Plank timing

I'm at a loss at how to setup my AVAST Plank feeder timing.

I've always used an Neptune AFS, and now I'm replacing it with the plank. With the AFS, I had to block off the majority of the opening with tape, and it would do one drum rotation, twice a day.

I started using this on one of my apex controlled outlets

Code:
Fallback OFF
OSC 000:00/000:10/119:50 Then ON
If Time 11:01 to 08:59 Then OFF
  • On for 10 seconds
  • Every two hours
  • Except between 12am and 9am.
I tried timing it to 10 seconds and watching the food, but my fish had no idea it was time to eat so I just saw some stuff floating around. I guess that's OK, but not sure how I can tell if it's too little or too much?

I'm using the AVAST Reef Jerky mixed with TDO small pellets.
 
I've been doing 1 minute every 2 hrs 5 times a day with lights on. Using freeze dried, flakes, and pellets kind of randomly. If I had an Apex/GHL it'd be easier to use. Just using a Kasa 6 outlet WiFi power strip.

I think the best way to figure out timing is to let it run into a cup dry to judge the amount going in to the tank, then adjust from there.
