Group wavemakers?

Is there any way to group power heads for the wavemaker function?
I have 3 powerheads on one side of my tank, and one large powerhead on the other side. I'd like to swap back and forth between the group of three and the large one. When the group is on, the large power head is off, and vice versa.
Possible?

You don't have problems with those ports running on wavemaker?
If not, here is the code:
Code: Select all
ReefAngel.WavemakerRandom(Port4);
ReefAngel.Relay.Set(Port5, ReefAngel.Relay.Status(Port4));
ReefAngel.Relay.Set(Port6, ReefAngel.Relay.Status(Port4));
ReefAngel.Relay.Set(Port7, !ReefAngel.Relay.Status(Port4));

I haven't put them on a wave timer yet. Should I expect issues? If so I'll go another route.

The only ports with dampening components are 5 and 6.
You may or may not experience problems. It usually affects the LCD and causes it to display weird or not even draw anything at all.
