I would like my 2 koralia powerheads to turn off at off at night. How can I program that? (I have 0 experience programming)

Which ports are they on and what is your light cycle period?

My photoperiod is 09:00 to 21:00. I believe the power heads are on 5 and 6

Try this:

Code: Select all

  if (hour()<9 || hour()>=21)
  {
    ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port5);
    ReefAngel.Relay.Off(Port6);
  }
Make sure to place this code after whatever function you are using for the powerheads.

Should it look like this? I placed the code above where it states put custom code above here
