VDM and Aqua Illumination quesiton

[mikeyj28]

I am looking to add two aqua illuminations to my current set up as well as the VDM to my apex lite. I was seeing that i can ramp up and down the power for the AI units for a certain time over the day but i was wondering how to use the season table to have the program do this automatically? Because i want to also see a moon cycle in my tank as well as the full capacity to simulate the sunup and down options.

Look at my program (online at my website); it has it all that you ask. Basically, you use If Sun as you would otherwise and the Apex will ramp up at sunrise and ramp down at sunset. Moon is a little more tricky but it's all connected, tested and working in my progam.

well almost all of my questions, I was wondering can you control the the blue and white lights independently?

Yes, you should see 2 outlets on the VDM; 1 for white and a second for Blue. If you are looking at my program they are BluLED_11_5 and WhtLED_11_6.

cool thats all i wanted to know is if i could control them independently. I will pull the trigger and get the combo.. Thank you for all your help

In fact with the Super Blue you will be able to control the white, blue and royal blue channels separately once the new firmware is released (no eta for the release yet but I suspect within a couple months).
