Cloud cover

[Michael Gray]

Those of you that use cloud cover simulations. Can u send over your settings since I don't know how to do it. I don't want moon settings or lighting. But thinking clouds might be cool to give some breaks in lights at times. I just don't know what settings are best and % of coverage...

I will be doing clouds on my new Mithras lights. Will do a video on setting it up.

Here's mine

Do I have to select the days at bottom of settings or is that only for rainy days.

 

[Michael Gray]

I don't care for rainy day settings do I have to do that?

 

[tdhnry]

No, you do not

 

[Tristren]

I quite like the clouds. As you say, just a little break and keeps things interesting. I don’t use rainy days.

Cheers, Tony

For max darkening. If I set it to 70%. Does it lower it by 70 so if I had 100% intensity it will lower it max to 30% ? Or does that mean it will only go down to 70%?


Also is there a way it only cloud covers a few times a day. I feel like it's constantly changing. Never stays full bright for any time of I watch my color channels

This is why I tried it and turned it off. The clouds were way too often. Took away from my enjoyment of the tank.

Ya it's like back to back. I thought maybe it would give the coral a break once or twice a day.

What settings do you have for duration and pause?

Cheers, Tony

 

[ingchr1]

For pause I had the max, 100s.

Duration, don't remember exactly but I tired a couple.

 

[Michael Gray]

I turned it off. It would be cool to have cloud cover like once or twice a day. Not but back to back to back for 12 hours
