Never mind!!! I figured it all out and all is working!!! I have the lights the way I want them, and the client is receiving data!! THis is great! Long live ReefAngel!!

What did you do to get the lights working? I want to set mine so the 10k come on at one time and the Actinic come on at another. Do you set one of the lights as MH and the other as standard?
Yes, that's what you can do. Even though it may be labeled as MH or Standard, they both function the same. The only difference is that MH has the ability for a delay.

What Curt said...I plugged my actinics into the relay that goes with "Standard" and my 10000Ks into the relay that goes with "Metal Halide"...I changed the names to Actinic and Daylights on the Client Software, so it is less confusing...I wish there was a way to change the MH label on the RAGen or the Memory page of the Client, but that is no biggie...On thing Roberto recommended was to only plug the lights into the relay, not a power strip with the lights/fans into a single relay...

I got the lights working thanks, I ended up just coding them in the pde. I need to have 4 light timers setup so I can run the 10K, Actinic, Fuge Light and Moon Lights.

Working nicely. Thanks for the help.
