Hi

I'm currently using the Echotech coral LAB template for SPS+ growth.

My lights come on at 3pm and off at 10:15PM giving me around 7hrs of light at 30% brightness.

This is fine, and working well.

However when the lights first come on and when they go off the light is a very low blue, almost like a moon light and the corals really look fluesent.

How can i add some addtional "moon" type dots before and after, as when i click it just messes all the points up!?


Here is my current radion setting

I have an AI Prime which does moon phase. It looks as if this one works similar. I have to set a night time period and set the light for that time. Then the moon phase calculates what percentage of that light intensity to allow based on the current phase of the moon. So there are times when the moon light is brighter than others.

Just create new points on your graph for where you want the moonlight to start and stop, or adjust the end points of your lighting period to your desired moonlight setting. You will notice that my start and end points have two points that are 5 minutes apart. That is because the lights don't perfectly match at the lowest levels of dimming and having the light go from zero to 1-2% quickly causes them to match up the best.

Try bumping up the intensity of the start of your day to match the beginning of your moonlight period. I had to play around a bit to make it look right.
