APEX VDM AI sol blue config help

[[WDT]TardFarmer]

I got my new lights!! I am working on the config now.

It looks like I have a bunch of extra profiles setup. I am confused by the varspd setup. I have tons of extras, can I just delete the ones I am not using? I am guessing I could do a lot to clean this up. Ken, oh master of the Apex or anyone else for that matter, input?

And another stupid question. Right now I have all my AI modules (4) plugged into a power strip and then that is plugged into the AI_LED outlet. Is that ok?

 

[[WDT]TardFarmer]

Well I think I answered my second question. Common sense would say since the VDM controls the AI modules via the datalink I should not have to plug each module into separate outlets.

More questions:

How can I tell which outlet the different lights are mapped to? Yesterday during the sunset sequence the Whites were the last one up. So the tank was very yellow. I swapped the settings of the white and royal and changed the name on the outlet and now the blues come on first rather than the White. The Apex did not identify the outlets with W, B, RB. Instead it gave me W, B, B so I am having to guess what controls what.

I am still confused by the variable speeds, I have some contradictions on what is on and off.

Thanks in advance for any help/input
