OK So I just got in my 5 string moon lights and the Lunar Simulator Module for my Apex. I know the program can be quite simple with the code below, but has anyone else done anything with the moon lights. I want to follow the natural phases of the moon.

Set Off
If Moon 000/000 Then On

So I do this with mine:

Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Moon 000/000 Then ON
If Time 12:35 to 22:25 Then OFF
If Time 22:29 to 22:34 Then ON

And I've adjusted the lunar table to correspond with my locale.
The first time statement keeps them off during the daylight period.
The second time statement keeps them on for 5 minutes after the daytime period ends, to help the fish settle in for the night.
