Is this where to ask program based question about apex

I am wondering if this code is right for my skimmer channel and how I want it to operate:

Fallback ON
Set ON
If Time 19:00 to 8:00 Then OFF
If Output Return_3_3 = OFF Then OFF
Defer 005:00 Then ON
If Swx4_2 Closed Then OFF
If Swx4_1 Closed Then OFF
If FeedA 005 Then OFF

I am hoping this means:
If power is lost, turn back on
Outlet defaults to on (think that is what set on is for, is this necessary?)
If it is between 7pm and 8am outlet is off
If the return pump is off the skimmer is off
Thre skimmer will wait for 5 minutes after power restored to return pump
If leak detectors are closed skimmer is off
And if in feed mode A skimmer is off (assuming for 5 additional minutes)

Looks good; however, why have skimmer off at a certain time? I would change also the leak detector names to virtual outlets. Example Floor_Leak this way you know where the detection is at.

2 teaspoons...
The skimmer is significantly bigger than I need (right now) and it is a bit noisy
It is a H&S110 believe it is rated for 200g, my tank is only 50 total... but once fully stocked it may require the over size skimmer...

As the three leak detectors, they are labeled... and I am not entirely sure how to set up the virtual outlets
