    Need help with Pump Programming OSC Command

    I have a Vortech pump on one side and a gyre on the other.

    I want to use the OSC command to have them turn on every 2 hours alternately. The modes of the pump are already programmed into each pumps controllers. I just need the apex to turn them on and off

    Gyre 12 to 2
    Vortech 2 to 4
    Gyre 4 to 6
    Vortech 6 to 8
    Gyre 8 to 10
    Vortech 10 to 12
    Gyre 12 to 2
    Vortech 2 to 4
    Gyre 4 to 6
    Vortech 6 to 8
    Gyre 8 to 10
    Vortech 10 to 12

    On the outlet each powerhead is connected to open the options (gear icon)

    Click Control Type: Powerhead

    This then opens the options to basically create your OSC command in an easier to understand format.

    On the Gyre outlet put in initial time 00:00 (Starts at Midnight)
    On for 120:00
    Off for 120:00

    You can add the feed option to turn the pumps off during feedings and delay its startup time.

    On the Vortech you put in all the same stuff but set the initial time to 120:00 (It will start its cycle at 2am)
    And put Off to 00:00 as the initial has the 2 hour delay already built in.
