    I wanted to check my program and see if I missed anything....

    If Time > 12:00 Then LT1 ON
    If Time > 21:30 Then LT1 OFF
    If Time > 07:00 Then LT2 ON
    If Time > 22:30 Then LT2 OFF
    If Timer LT1 = OFF Then LT3 ON
    If Timer LT1 = ON Then LT3 OFF

    * LT1 is my main lights, LT2 is two blues for morning and dusk. LT3 is my refugium lights, on reverse cycle from main lights.

    If Temp < 76.5 Then HT1 ON
    If Temp > 76.0 Then HT1 OFF
    If Temp < 76.0 Then HT2 ON
    If Temp > 76.5 Then HT2 OFF
    If Temp > 80.0 Then CHL ON
    If Temp < 77.5 Then CHL OFF

    * Heater and chiller set points.

    If pH < 08.10 Then AIR ON
    If pH > 08.10 Then AIR OFF

    * I've got an air pump with air stones in my sump. If the pH gets low I turn on the air to provide more aeriation.

    OSC 060/060 ON/OFF Then FN1 ON
    If Timer FN1 = ON Then FN2 OFF
    If Timer FN1 = OFF Then FN2 ON

    * For circulation, I have 2 1400 Evo's for clockwise flow and 2 for counter clockwise flow. FN1 and FN2 respectively. I run clockwise an hour and then switch to counter clockwise for an hour.

    If Timer RTN = OFF Then CHL OFF

    * My chiller is slaved off my return pump and flows back into the sump. Thus, if I turn off the return pump, I want the chiller to turn off as well.

    If Time > 00:00 Then RTN ON
    If Time > 00:00 Then SKM ON
    If Time > 00:00 Then FN1 ON
    If Time > 00:00 Then FN2 ON
    If Time > 00:00 Then K1F ON

    If FeedA 000 Then RTN OFF
    If FeedA 005 Then SKM OFF
    If FeedA 000 Then FN1 OFF
    If FeedA 000 Then FN2 OFF
    If FeedA 000 Then K1F OFF

    If FeedB 000 Then RTN OFF
    If FeedB 005 Then SKM OFF
    If FeedB 000 Then FN1 OFF
    If FeedB 000 Then FN2 OFF
    If FeedB 000 Then K1F OFF

    For Feed Cycles, I turn off the return pump, skimmer all four Evo's for circulation. I also have 4 K1's for circulation hooked up to a Quadra Wave Motion. K1F is the Quadra with 4 K1's. Turns that off as well.

    I wasn't sure about the Time >0 ON commands to get everything back on after the feed cycle.

    Is the anything I missed???

    AC Jr with Temp and pH sensors. DC8 and DDC4HD.

    Thanks

    Great catch Powerman....

    I changed it to the following

    If Temp < 76.0 Then HT1 ON
    If Temp > 77.0 Then HT1 OFF
    If Timer HT1 = ON Then HT2 ON
    If Timer HT1 = OFF Then HT2 OFF

    Thanks
