Putting protein skimmer on a schedule

[Seagals]

Hi - I would like to have my skimmer on Port 1 go on at 8am and turn on a 9pm and I need some guidance before I mess with my code.

right now the skimmer is always on code as follows:

// Ports that are always on
ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port1 );//Protein skimmer
ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port7 );//Chiller
ReefAngel.Relay.On( Port8 );//Main pump

Question - if I am now putting the skimmer on a schedule should I remove port 1 (skimmer) from this section??

Now the schedule part - if you would please confirm I added the code correctly before I mess up my existing code......

////// Place additional initialization code above here
}

void loop()
{
ReefAngel.ProteinSkimmer( Port1,8,0,21,00);
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port2,9,0,21,30 );
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port3,11,0,20,30 );
ReefAngel.StandardLights( Port4,9,0,21,30 );
ReefAngel.Wavemaker( Port5,960 );
ReefAngel.Relay.Set( Port6, !ReefAngel.Relay.Status( Port5 ) );
ReefAngel.PWM.SetDaylight( PWMSlope(11,0,20,25,5,70,120,5) );
ReefAngel.PWM.SetActinic( PWMSlope(9,0,21,30,15,88,60,20) );
////// Place your custom code below here
static unsigned long lastATOCheck=millis();
if (!ReefAngel.LowATO.IsActive()) lastATOCheck=millis();
if (ReefAngel.LowATO.IsActive() && (millis()-lastATOCheck>2000)) ReefAngel.Relay.RelayMaskOff&=~(Port8Bit | Port7Bit | Port1Bit);
if ( (hour()>=8 && hour()<20))//wavemakers on at 8am and off at 8pm
{
static unsigned long nexttoggle=now();
static boolean state=false;
int cycle=nexttoggle-now();
ReefAngel.Relay.Set(Port5,state);
ReefAngel.Relay.Set(Port6,!ReefAngel.Relay.Status(Port5));
if (cycle<0)
{
nexttoggle+=random(960,1020);//tunzes on for 15-16 mins
state=!state;
}
if (cycle<10)//10 sec overlap
{
ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port5);
ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port6);
}
}
else
{
ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port5);
ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port6);
}


////// Place your custom code above here


Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes, remove the Relay.On, but use StandardLights not ProteinSkimmer

[lnevo]

ReefAngel.Relay.StandardLights( Port1,8,0,21,0 );//Protein skimmer

Hey - Inevo - got the idea from the MR site - I wanted to give it a try see how the tank does with less Skimmer use....The following is the code but when I verified it I got the following error:

'class Relayclass' has no member named 'StandardLights'

Sorry guys thought I couold give it try on my own but I need your review of the following and offer a solution. Thanks

Sorry my bad. Take out the relay part. Make it look like your other StandardLights calls

ok verified and uploaded - thanks
