Hi,
I have got myself the moonlight LED tube which has white and blue LEDs in it. I don't understand how to set it up.
L1 is the white "moon" light, and L2 is the blue "actinic"-type light, both of which are dimmable. I also have T5's, which aren't dimmable but are split into actinic and full reef white.
My lighting is as follows:
Actinic T5s on at 8am
Main T5s on a 10am
Main T5s off at 5pm
Actinic T5s off at 8pm
What I want is a gradual increase in actinic light from 5am, and a gradual decrease in actinic light until 10pm. So I've set the L2 to do exactly that, with NO moonphase selected. I've then also set the L1 "moon" light to be on 100% but with the moon phase selected. Will that allow the moon to come and go according to what it should be doing, or will it just keep my fish awake at night?
Please help!
