Please review my ACIII code for my skimmer....

[rgonzalez]

I'd like to keep my skimmer on at all times, unless the temperature in the tank goes above 85 degrees. Is this code correct?

If Temp > 85.0 Then SWC OFF
If Time > 00:00 Then SWC ON


Thanks!

I'd think you'd want more than your skimmer off if your temp got that high. Like your lights.
:p

Not too sure if the following is needed though (at least with an Apex):


If Time > 00:00 Then SWC ON

Good call on the lights J! What code should I use?

If I don't add that code, then I can't see the SWC line on my Status screen :/

here is my code for my temp control on my ACIII:

HET = Heater
FAN = Fan
FTL = Frag Tank Light
ACT = Actinics
MH1 = Display Halide 1
MH2 = Display Halide 2
ALM = Alarm which emails me.

If Temp < 78.0 Then HET ON
If Temp > 78.3 Then HET OFF
If Temp > 79.0 Then FAN ON
If Temp < 78.2 Then FAN OFF
If Temp > 79.9 Then FTL OFF
If Temp > 80.2 Then ACT OFF
If Temp > 80.3 Then MH1 OFF
If Temp > 80.5 Then MH2 OFF
If Temp > 80.6 Then ALM ON
If Temp < 76.5 Then ALM ON
