Trying to program my new g5 pros want them to turn on at 12 in the afternoon and turn off at 8 at night using the ab+ program but for some reason they go white at 8 and never turn off what I’m doing wrong

Hello,
I would expect them to have moonlight after 8:00 pm and turn off later (proxy 1h after)
It is hard to say via your picture... if it is moon (white) light or full power white.
What is the intensity of the light after 8:00 pm? If it is a soft white, you are fine :)

Press enable moonlight during this period (after 8:00pm) and check if changes the intensity.

Cheers!

Take a look at your set points after 8pm, click on one of them them at the top of the screen you will see a moon click on that and see what you intensity’s are set for on moon. I’m no expert but I think this should help.

Hi,
everything seems to be fine.
I bet is that you are looking to the moonlight on after 8:0 pm.
Check your tank around 9:00 pm and then 10:00pm... it will lower intensity till no light at all.
