Red Sea Reef LED 90 settings not correct

Shunopoli · Jan 3, 2023

So not sure what’s going on. I have a program set for 100% blue , but through out the day it shows different percentages. Right now it shows 87% why is it doing this?

Is it due to the clouds fluctuation?

I thought that, but If you look at my schedule there are no clouds set I disabled that I just didn't change the name of the schedule

Could be lunar then if it's not the clouds.

Weird (that's the only thing I could think of).

Ya, I don't think it's the lunar either cause if you look at the schedule the lunar is not set to run until 19:00. This one is puzzling

My reefled 50 was doing the same, not following the program. After a factory reset it worked for a while but every now and then it did the same thing. For a while I thought daylight savings was the issue but this was not the problem in my case.

Like right now it's back to 100%, It's acting like the cloud settings are still enabled even thought they are not.

I have never looked at the cloud settings on mine. I have shut down the reef this month so sadly not able to check if this works on mine but when I take the light back into use I will check it, thanks

I have the Reef Led 90's but admittedly don't see this issue. I only run at 50/10 blue/white which makes me wonder if it's a power thing. I know they have fans but perhaps they reduce power slightly if the temperature cannot be controlled? It's just a thought but are the fans running fast?

Great guess, as I programmer you could be right I think this could very well be software that ramps them down it is something I would do as a safety. And I didn't clean the thing for a while so it's probably dusty as hell.

So I read from the manual that the only thing it does regarding temp is ramp up and down the fans not the light. I don't notice any difference in sound. I can see when the lights adjust when the percentage drops so it makes me check the app, and it's just like when I had the cloud setting enabled. I don't want to reset them to factory cause they are kinda of pain to get them resynced.
