Relay issue?

I have always had this issue since I have owned my reef angel set up and figured it is time to tackle the problem.

I have my jbj nano cube wave maker plugged into a port. I have my pwm rapid led's connected and their drivers plugged into their ports.

When the wave make switches from one pump powered and the other off it causes my led light to flash. This happens at night when the led's are at 0 percent power and their drivers are off.

Does this mean voltage is straying into the pwm connections? How do I fix this?

Which port do you have the wavemaker plugged into?

port one for the wave maker, 3 and 4 for the led drivers

Try putting the wavemaker on port 5 or 6. You're likely getting an inductive kickback when the wavemaker turns off which causes your LED's to flick on. Ports 5 and 6 have dampening circuitry to help this.
