For the past few days (Only had the controller a little over a week) when the room is quite and I am working every once in awhile (4-5 times now) I will hear a click and pumps shutdown for a VERY brief second and then return to normal. The glitch doesn't show up on the relay log. I don't have lights hooked up to is so I don't know if its the whole relay or only certain outlets. Any ideas what could be causing it.

Can I see the code?

Do you have any idea of which ports?
What do you have on port 7?

Port 7 is a skimmer. Not sure which ones but I know for sure the return pump on 2 is

Does it turn on/off properly when you go through feeding or water change mode?

Yes everything works as programmed, it just randomly glitches.

Make sure your connections are all tight to the relay box(es). I had strange things happen when I first set mine up and it ended up being a lose connection to a relay box. I pulled all the cables apart and plugged them back together and everything has been working great since.

Thanks Piper I will give that a shot.

Still doing it and seems to be getting worse.

I wonder if this is the same as this:

still having the issue

did you remove the jumpers?

No. That entails taking the controller apart correct?

Yes, but it is just 4 screws in the head unit.
You unscrew and open the enclosure and it will be right there.
