Why is this happening?

I picked up another Reef keeper lite powerstrip. Now i can plug in my lights, my fixture fans, heater, koralias (for wavemaker), etc. However for some reason sometimes when the koralia pump alternates on and off in the wavemaker mode, my Royal Blue strand of LED's (only those) flash real quick. These two items and powerstrips are seperate and only connected by a 6 pin cable. How is it that the koralia is causing a surge in one powerstrip, traveling to another, surging that powerstrip to eventually cause my lights to blink? This happens randomly, maybe once every few minutes.

 

Almost sounds like there some how sharing the channel,what channels are you lights on ? And what Channels are the pumps on ?

Can you reprogram the light channels and move them to different spots on the strip ?

 

Also check where your pumps power cords are routed. It may be inducing a small current between the pumps power cords and LEDs. Make sure the pumps power cords are nowhere close to the LED power cords or control wiring.

 

it honestly doesnt bother me that much and as long as I knew that this wouldnt burn out any of my leds or anything like that I wouldnt really care. It also seems like when it flickers they arent at full blast.

The pumps power chords are nowhere near the LED's chords. Probably a foot away from them. They arent sharing a channel. My koralia 1050gph are on PC1 channel 1 and 4 (so they dont run backwards), and my LED's are on PC2 channel 2 and 3.

 

Well this situation hasnt happened recently since I have been keeping my RKL system unplugged from my computer/MyReef when not needed for programming or monitoring.

However what it recently has done is a few random times during a couple days all of the sudden my LED's just shut off, then turn back on in like 5 seconds.
