    Feed Mode help

    I'm having some issues with equipment turning off during Feed Mode A-D

    for example, my MP40's, when I go into Feed Mode D, should be off, since D is for my maintenance. My return is of for 45 minutes.

    Set ReefCrst
    If FeedA 000 Then ReefCrst
    If FeedB 000 Then Nutrient
    If FeedC 000 Then ReefCrst
    If FeedD 000 Then OFF
    if Time 23:00 to 08:00 Then Lagoon

    My heater has a line:

    If Output Sicce = OFF Then OFF

    but when my sicce is off for FeedD, my heaters remain on. I am missing something.

    Post the rest of your heater programming as shown in the outlet.

    Fallback OFF
    If Output Sicce = OFF Then OFF
    If Tmp < 77.7 Then ON
    If Tmp > 78.5 Then OFF
    If Tmp < 70.0 Then OFF


    Edit: I have since moved the feed lines under the time statement for the mp40. See if that makes any difference.

    The order of statements is incorrect. The last true statement determines the state of the output. In your case, you need the If Output Sicce... line to take precedence over the normal programming, so it must be listed at the end, not before the regular programming, like this:

    Fallback OFF
    If Tmp < 77.7 Then ON
    If Tmp > 78.5 Then OFF
    If Tmp < 70.0 Then OFF
    If Output Sicce = OFF Then OFF
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.

    You have the order wrong. The feed lines need to go after the lagoon line.
