well not been to bad of a start I have the main light, second light, and circulation pump all working with a timer. Basically just got the main light on for 9 hours and then the second light for 2 hours. The circulation pump activates for 15 minutes every hour but only when the main light is on. The timer is controlled from a ds3231 rtc and the time and output states are displayed on a 1602 LCD display. The outputs are then going through a 8ch solid state relay board which is mains rated. I've just whipped out some neopixels from the parts draw and am wanting to replace the second light output with them. The plan is to have the neoplixels to come on straight after the main light in white then gradually turn off or a dull blur while mimicking a sunset.
