32 gallon Bio Cube led timers

[dakotanut]

I hope someone has the LED light like I do. I'm having difficulty setting the LED light up. The very first step in the instructions I'm not getting. It goes straight to 12 or 24 hour setting. Then clock then timers. Should go to the different kind of LEDs. Thanks.

#reefsquad any biocube users in the bunch?

program 1 is bright whites-time on/time off
program 2 is sparkle lights- time on/ time off
program 3 is actnic- time on/ time off

When should I time them to go on or off. Program 1 should be daytime. Program 2 should be sunrise/sunset. Program 3 moon pool. How would I set program 2 and use program 1 for daytime. 3 is easy. Program 2 would come on at 9:30am (for test purposes) and off at 10:30. The 1 would take over. So how would I get 2 to take over and sunset after 1 was done?

Program 2 comes on before program 1, stays on all day, turns off after program 1 does
There is no taking over

I run P1 11a-5p
P2 9:30a- 6:30p
P3 8:45a- 9p

Awesome! Thank you very much. That is what I was looking for. Really appreciate it. It's the small details like that. So it's a whole different set of lights then and 2 at the same time?!.

Why is it that all 3 are on at the same time? I just got a biocube and I'm trying to learn about the proper way to care for it.

 

[dakotanut]

They dont. Moon light is last to come on.

 

[dakotanut]

They aren't. It looks like it but they aren't. Just 1 and 2.

Mine are
They’re not “moon lights”
They’re actinic and add to the spectrum

 

[dakotanut]

Ok. Sure.
