    Co2 injection programming script help

    I was wondering If anybody can lend me a helping hand. I would like to create a program for my Co2 injected freshwater planted tank. Two different parameters for when my lights are on from 5am to 1pm and would like to have a range when the light are off. Is this the correct programming sequence for what I'm trying to achieve. My lights are not connected to the apex eb8 as I'm using the kessil controller.

    Fallback OFF
    If pHx2 < 6.40 Then OFF
    If pHx2 > 6.50 Then ON
    If Time 05:00 to 13:00 Then ON
    If pHx2 < 6.80 Then OFF
    If pHx2 > 6.90 Then ON
    If Time 13:00 to 05:00 Then ON

    Thanks for any advice,
    Jeff

    No that will not work. The way apex programming works is that it goes from top to bottom and ignores any false statements. The last true statement wins.

    You have to create two virtual outlets to do this.

    Co2Day
    If pHx2 < 6.40 Then OFF
    If pHx2 > 6.50 Then ON
    If Time 13:00 to 05:00 Then OFF

    Co2Night
    If pHx2 < 6.80 Then OFF
    If pHx2 > 6.90 Then ON
    If Time 05:00 to 13:00 Then OFF

    Solenoid (physical outlet)
    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Outlet Co2Day = ON Then ON
    If Outlet Co2Night = ON Then ON

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    No you use the classic dashboard and add a DC4 or DC8 module to create 4 or 8 virtual outlets respectively. There is a sticky post on here explaining the process and the comprehensive manual explains it in great detail.
