Is there a way to make Apex run your heater for 20 minutes and then rest for 10 minutes? Sort of like HVAC cycling

You could use an OSC command to do this. But I would still use a temp probe to monitor temp and turn off the heater if the temp is too high
btw, I'm not sure why you would do this. You don't really have any control over water temp thus way. By monitoring temp you can keep the temp steady at about 1/2 degree difference. The fishnwoukd greatly prefer this!
This code will do that, kind of.
Heater
Fallback ON
Osc 000:00/ 020:00/010:00 Then ON
If Temp > 79 Then OFF
Starting at midnight the heater has the potential to be on for 20 minutes and off for 10. Whenever the temperature is above 79 the heater is off. The sort of happens if at 00:21 the temperature falls to 79 the heater will not come on until 00:30. Also if the temperature drops during the 20 minute on period it will only stay on until the end of the period, not the 20 minutes. In other words the first on will be 20 to 0 minutes with a delay of 10 to 0.
