Has anyone done this 2.0 update and understand exactly what the "region timer" means? I have ran it threw four different regional cycles and the best I can tell is that it increases and decreases your start times, stop times, and peak hours. I would assume there would be some color variation but have not seen it in the update. The red and green spectrum is what I would like to understand better from AI as well. Thoughts.......?

Regional meaning if you want your lights on schedule with a region. I used custom and out in my longitude and latitude as well as my time zone. So it should dim as the sun goes down at my house.

I lived in the Eastern Time Zone so when I ran the Florida Keys mode, the daylight exposure seemed short to me. Currently have mine set the "the great barrier reef" because it was close to existing schedule. I am still really curious why they came updated with the red and green spedtrum so high from what I orginally thought.(Half of what you run your white)

The regional mimic the sunrise and sunset of the region you choose. I chose not to use it because I don't want sunset at 5pm. I know it depends which you choose but I like my lights on during evening so I can enjoy my tank.
On another note..the firmware update deletes all of your current light settings so make sure you take note of what they are..as well as any acclimation setting you have.

Controller

On the old firmware you screensaver showed the current percentages of each color at that point in time..now you see a bar graph which to me is useless. I want to see the exact percentages.
Am I missing something?

The bar graph also has a number above it, which is your percentage.
