I don't have a battery backup but I believe when the power goes out and it's running on battery, it is the same as night mode. It is a constant flow that is 50% of the max set flow.

If you cycle power and don't have a battery backup, the vortech comes back up, runs through it's boot up sequence and then resumes the previous wave profile. The preset Sleep Mode start time is not remembered. Since the driver doesn't have a power button, you have to unplug to turn the vortech off. I haven't tested for an extended period of time to see if it remembers the wave profile (usually a minute or less to move the pump around).

Thanks. That helps he out on if I either want to use the pump with its built in feed mode or the feed mode built into my controller. With the Profilux controller you can program a socket to 'filter' and then it will turn off the power for a set period of time allowing you to stop the flow for feeding. If the night mode settings do not save after the power goes out, looks like the feed mode option will only work well through the Vortech's driver.
