Radion G4 moonlight setting

Rostato · Dec 17, 2020

I’ve searched and searched. I’ve asked on the FB page. And for some reason I can’t find any info out there.

What is then best/correct setting on radion G4’s and 3’s for moonlight? I’m using mobius and running the royal blues at 5% and 100% intensity. And I have the moonlight setting checked.

This seems to give me either a very bright tank or a completely dark tank. Nothing really in between. What am I doing wrong? Or are they trying to force people to the G5’s because the have actual “moonlights.”

Any ideas?

Nobody uses the moonlight setting for radions?

What are you trying to do?

Light the tank all night or just a ramp down moonlight effect?

Just trying to get some sort of lunar simulation

I "think" you have to use the mobius lunar feature to get "moonlight". I'm pretty sure it lasts for 3 hours after the regular lights shut off.(Oh, I have the gen 5s)
With that said I have lunar disabled. At 8PM(my lights shut off) I have that time spot set for 1% blue, all other colors set for 0%(point intensity is set at 100% on my program and schedule intensity is where I set "brightness"). I added another time spot at 1AM and set that the same as the 8pm time spot(1% blue). Then I added another time spot at 1:15 and set the blue to 0%. Now I get 1% blue light from 8PM to 1AM and then it ramps down to all light off at 1:15AM.
Mobius is a pain-I think it was designed by Germans-over thought.

Yeah I’m running the lunar setting with royals at 5%. But it’s either on very bright or off for like half the month.

That's because so is the moon over a month-think full moon,half moon,1/4 moon.
That's why I did it my way---having a Current USA Marine IC Pro(at one time,not no more) taught me my way.
