what is the best way to code so that you can have something similar to a eavenmaoer?

Can you oscolate to something less than a minute? Run this pump for 10 sec and run another pump for 10 sec

The minimum time for a device to be controlled is 1 minute, exception being Tunze pumps when using the AquaSurf.

Can't seem to find the code anymore but how do you set one up so one is on and another is off?
Osc 01/01 on/off
If a0 on
Then a1 off

Use:

OSC 001/001 ON/OFF Then PM1 ON
OSC 001/001 ON/OFF Then PM2 OFF

Wouldn't it have a potential that both run the same time? I want to be sure that one is on and another one is off

Yes, it is possible to get them out of sync if you use manual control on the pumps or have 'other' control statements that affect them (e.g., feed).

It takes 1 extra line but I prefer this:

OSC 001/001 ON/OFF Then PM1 ON
If Timer PM1 = On Then PM2 OFF
If Timer PM1 = Off Then PM2 ON

guaranteed never to be out of sync.
