    Please review my program, complete noob!

    Hello all!

    Will you please let me know if this is good to go:

    Tunze- Outlet 1
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedA 015 Then OFF
    If FeedB 015 Then OFF

    This is a powerhead. I want it on 24/7, unless either feed modes are engaged. I want the pump to shut of in those cases for 20 minutes, and then turn back on.

    Koralia-Outlet 2
    Same as above.

    Return Pump- Outlet 3
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedA 015 Then OFF
    If FeedB 015 Then OFF

    This is my sump return pump. I want it on 24/7, unless either feed modes are engaged. I want the pump to shut off in those cases for 20 minutes, and then turn back on.

    Heater- Outlet 4
    Fallback OFF
    If Tmp < 77.1 Then ON
    If Tmp > 77.9 Then OFF
    If Tmp < 75.0 Then OFF

    I want it to be off if the head unit isn't connected to the energy bar, to turn on at 77, off at 78. The last line is my failsafe, should the probe stop working, I want the temp off.

    Skimmer- Outlet 5
    Fallback ON
    Set ON
    If FeedB 015 Then OFF

    I want it on 24/7, unless feed mode b is engaged. Then I want it to turn back on 20 minutes later.

    Refuge Light-Outlet 7
    Fallback OFF
    Set OFF
    If Time 21:00 to 08:00 Then ON
    If Tmp > 80.0 Then OFF

    I want the light to be off if the head unit is disconnected, and to only come on between 9pm and 8am. If the temp gets above 80, I want it to turn off, and then back on if it goes below 80.

    Fan- Outlet 8
    Fallback OFF
    If Tmp > 80.0 Then ON
    If Tmp < 79.0 Then OFF

    I want the fan to be off if the head unit is disconnected, and I want the fan to turn on in the sump if temp gets to 80, and off at 79.







    Really hoping I got this right!

    I would add a min time off to the light so they do not come on/off if your temp hovers around 80. The command is Min time X:XX Then Off

    Also are you sure you want your skimmer on even when your return is off? The water level in the sump usually raises when the return is off and can cause the skimmer to over flow its collection cup.

    Thanks for the reply! The skimmer is AquaC Urchin, so it doesn't depend on water level. As long as it covers the pump, it will be good to go! The water line in the sump doesn't go below it ever by design of the baffles.

    Edit to say: Added that line for the lights!
