Anything I should change??

LT1$-A1 //T5 light
LT2$-A2 //MH light
HET%-A3 //heater
PM2#-A4 //Powerhead
COL%-A5 //Fan

If Time > 17:00 Then LT1 ON
If Time > 17:30 Then LT1 OFF
If Time > 17:30 Then LT2 ON
If Time > 00:00 Then LT2 OFF
If Time > 00:00 Then LT1 ON
If Time > 00:30 Then LT1 OFF
If Temp > 79.0 Then COL ON
If Temp < 77.5 Then COL OFF
If Temp < 77.0 Then HET ON
If Temp > 78.0 Then HET OFF
If Time > 19:00 Then PM2 ON
If Time > 00:00 Then PM2 OFF
If FeedA 000 Then PM2 OFF
 
What's the powerhead on/off cycle for?

I might also toss in a
Temp > 81 Then LT2 OFF
I wouldn't overlap the fan and the heater as well. Otherwise you might have the fan trying to cool your tank while your heater is trying to warm it up.
 
LT2 is turn on only 30 minutes before and after MH turns on and off.
I will redo the temp thing..

The powerhead on/off is just to create random flow. I have enough flow with one PH but want to change the flow directions for several hours a day.. I just want to do it on one PH so I don't mess up all my PHs from turning on and off.

According to what your program says LT2 is your metal halide. The reason I tossed that bit of code in is if the fan isn't enough to keep the temp down, turn the halide off.
 
Might want to add this at the very end;

Max Change 015 M Then LT2 OFF

This will let the MH light cool for 15 minutes before allowing it to turn back on, that way you won't flicker your MH on and off at Temp= 81, and or if there is a power outage event.

Here is a copy of my program for those that are interested
Code: 
LT1$-B03 //Left MH
LT2$-B04 //Right MH
LT3$-B01 //T5 - Actinic
PM1#-A01 //Koralia 4
PM2#-A03 //Koralia 3
RM1#-A05 //Return
HET%-A07 //Heater
PS1#-A08 //Protein Skimmer Feed
FN1%-A04 //Fan
OV1#-A06 //Overflow siphon pump

If Time > 00:00       Then PM1 ON 
If Time > 00:00       Then PM2 ON 
If Time > 00:00       Then RM1 ON 
If Time > 00:00       Then PS1 ON 
If Time > 00:00       Then OV1 ON 
If Time > 00:00       Then LT1 OFF
If Time > 00:00       Then LT2 OFF
If Time > 01:00       Then LT3 OFF
If Time > 16:00       Then LT3 ON 
If Time > 18:00       Then LT1 ON 
If Time > 18:00       Then LT2 ON 
If Temp  < 77.5      Then ALM ON
If Temp  < 78.0      Then HET ON 
If Temp  > 78.3      Then HET OFF
If Temp  > 79.0      Then FN1 ON 
If Temp  > 80.9      Then LT1 OFF
If Temp  > 81.0      Then ALM ON
If Temp  > 81.2      Then LT2 OFF
If Temp  > 81.5      Then LT3 OFF
Max Change 015 M      Then LT1 OFF
Max Change 015 M      Then LT2 OFF
Max Change 010 M      Then LT3 OFF
