I’d like to schedule my skimmer to go off for about 30 min at night while my aminos dose.

Here’s the programming for my Apex and it seems to be working but any feedback would be appreciated.

Here are my first thoughts:
  1. Apex times are always listed as hh:mm, so technically it should be "23:50 to 00:20", but I'm not certain if it will cause any problem missing the first zero.
  2. Times are inclusive, so 23:50 to 00:20 is actually 31 minutes.
  3. The Defer 005:00 Then ON will add an additional 5 minutes before turning back on, so you have a total of 36 minutes off right now.
Otherwise, what you have looks fine.
