From my research it seems possible to have two power heads cycle back and fourth every 30 seconds but can I also have both of them turn on for 10 seconds every hour?

Are you talking about DC pump or regular powerheads?
Possible for both of them, just different code.

Regular power heads....

Can you post the code you are using?

I would assume default config as I have not done the install yet. I will be doing my install on Friday.
I do not need a code yet... just wondering if this can be done.

When you are ready and tested the code you want to use for the wavemaker, go ahead and post the code and we can add the 10 second override for 10s every hour.

Here is what I have setup now. Using ports 5,6 for the wavemaker with port 6 set to be opposite of main box port 5. Powerheads are cycling every 20 seconds. Can we add to the code to have both ports 5,6 turn on at the same time every 20 minutes for 12 seconds then back to the 20 second cycle?
I am ok if we have to do every hour as opposed to 20 minutes but prefer the 20min.

Try this:

Do I paste this in this section?

////// Place your custom code below here


////// Place your custom code above here

I have tried that code, but didn't see the change in the wavemakers, where does this need to be added to? Maybe I added this on the wrong line.

if (now()%1200<12)
{
ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port5);
ReefAngel.Relay.On(Port6);
}

Yes, it is in the loop section.
It will turn them both on on the first 12s of every 1200s.

I'm trying to get this functionality working as well and am not seeming to have any luck. What I think was supposed to happen in the code was that there would be a 5 second overlap every 90 seconds but that doesnt seem to be the case.

Remove this line:

OK, but is there a way to accomplish what I'm after?

Does it alternate though?

Alternates perfectly, was just hoping to have some overlap with both running for a short period so it would create a little more turbulence occasionally. Guess I can implement that once I get a dimming expansion and hook the pumps up to that.
