Cool, I didn't see the need for it either, but I did see it on other people's program's and I was wondering if it was necessary. I'm totally new to Apex so wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything I shouldn't.
Next... my heaters...

Fallback OFF
Set OFF If 180Tmp < RT+0.5 Then ON If 180Tmp > RT+1.0 Then OFF Defer 000:05 Then ON Defer 000:05 Then OFF If FeedA 000 Then OFF Thats what I use for my heaters, using the seasonal tables, this is set for freshwater tank, not salt but I'm sure the temperature might be around the same anyways. The defer statements make the program wait instead of instantly turning the heaters on/off to verify that the temperature actually requires something to be done instead of possibly turning on/off/on/off a bunch of times in a row if temperature is real close to the set points. If the temperature is 1 degree F over the Seasonable table, turn OFF If the temperature is 0.5 degree F over the Seasonable table, turn ON Yes I only let my tank change in the range of .5 degrees before turning on/off In my 37g tank this turns the heater on for 20 minutes every 3-4 hours

Just linked in with Apex Fusion. One of the reasons I hadn't done much with the unit was I was a bit daunted by network setup and email notifications. WOW, am I glad fusion came out. Easy peasy!

Yes fusion is nice, but honestly it lacks the control that you have within the apex itself. I was all excited when the open beta opened up, took me 10 days to get in, and logged in, looked and besides the graphs I much prefer the actual control panel through the apex

I've been watching the BRS video series on the Apex and I can see how for a newbie like me it's much easier to get started. But I can also see how I will be modifying the code in advanced mode once I'm more comfortable with the programming language and the effects of certain commands like the OSC feature.

What kinda things you want to advance with? I'm an industrial controlls programmer. Even for me, the Apex can get confusing. I think they tried to simplify it for laymans terms, yet made some things more complex. The lack of following Boolean law, And or Or. a big one. Everything can be easily summed to and and or. But Apex takes some thinking at times
