I should have added some comments.

I think the lights schedule are pretty self explanatory. I added a couple of temperature failsafes and Max Change statements. Now the fans are a bit more complicated. Fan 1 should go ON/OFF exclusively on temperature. Now FAN 2 should go ON/OFF based on both temperature and lights. That is... if the lights are off... Fan 2 should only come on based on temperature. However, if the lights are ON I want FAN 2 to be ON. Finally, the feed cycles... one where the main pump is turned OFF and another one where the main pump and skimmer are both turned off, but the skimmer remains off for another 20 minutes.

Bump... anyone? Does the program look ok?

I don't see any obvious errors.

Ok, so I ran into an issue where FN2 was not turning off. It now works as it should. However, I've run into another problem. FN1 seems to get stuck every so often. The interface says it is off, but the fan is actually ON. What could be causing this?

Another issue I have is with the feed cycle. Feed A works as expected, but when I select Feed B, the cycle lasts 1 second. The pumps turn OFF/ON right away. Also, when I click down on the ACJr to select the feed cycle it goes like this A -> D -> C-> B. Is this normal?

Here is the latest version of the program.
