Raise the tank mount to its highest point and run the 12" profile

Click on each point, hold and manually drag it ahead by the desired amount of time. Unfortunately this is not built in to the app and has to be done manually. Takes about 10 minutes to move all of the points :/

They are called respiration peaks. The idea behind including them is to give your photosynthetic critters periods of intense lighting followed by slightly less intense lighting allowing them to export the energy gained during peak periods. Especially since LED lighting is point source the intensity can lead to photoinhibition and these peaks and valleys help avoid this. Think of it as clouds passing over the reef. Rarely are corals blasted by uniformally intense lighting for 8 hrs a day every day. This is the beauty of led lighting it allows us to mimic nature better then we have ever been able too! Hope I explained that well, not done with the first cup of coffee yet haha!

I have now used this schedule for over 2 months and can attest that it works well. Will try and get some pictures up soon.

If you want to change the time, say 11am instead of 8am, you can adjust your local/ personal time in the settings menu. This wouldn't change the photoperiod but will let you start the program earlier or later without moving each set point. If I set mine to 5:30am when it's actually 8:30am this would move the 8:30am program start time to 11:30.
Log in/ settings on the bottom right/ select date and time/ select time and adjust the hours or minutes as needed to delay the photoperiod without moving each individual set point

Thanks for the info.I adjusted the times as per kaklangley's method,makes it easier than moving each point. Do the intensities need to be adjusted due to the depth of the tank,this may have been discussed earlier,easier to ask then wade through 174 pages that I have read for the most part. My tank is 30" deep and I am running 10 lights (52HD),I downloaded the 12" AWL profile, my lights are 13" AWL.

I'm sorry don't have time to go back and check your previous posts but if it's 2 hydra fixtures I would hang them 18-24" AWL to maximize spread and use the 24" profile. If you have more fixtures lower to 12" and use that profile!
