OK so I want to set up an outlet that I can switch on to take pictures that aren't so blue. On the tank in question, My light is a home made 2 channel (whites and Blues) LED that is controlled for ramp times via the apex. I thought I could just create 2 profiles (one for the white and one for the blue) add a VO that is on off and add a line to each channel to send it to the profile if the switch was on.
This is what I did:
Profile for the blue channel:
Name: PhotoB_PF8
Type: Ramp
Ramp Time: 1
Start Intensity: 25
End Intensity: 25

Profile for the white Channel
Name: PhotoW_PF7
Type: Ramp
Ramp Time: 1
Start Intensity: 75
End Intensity: 75

VO
Name: Photo_A1
Program: Fallback Off
Set Off

Blue Light Program:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 15:00 to 22:00 Then ON
If Outlet Photo_A1 = ON Then PhotoB_PF8
If Temp > 81.0 Then OFF
Min Time 030:00 Then OFF

White Light Program:
Fallback OFF
Set OFF
If Time 15:00 to 22:00 Then ON
If Outlet Photo_A1 = ON Then PhotoW_PF7
If Temp > 81.0 Then OFF
Min Time 030:00 Then OFF

So, when I switch on the outlet Photo_A1 it should divert it to the corespnding profiles and give me a whilte light at 75% and a blue light at 25%, But it just turns both lights off. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated and thanks.
 
Can't be of direct help as I barely know how to use my own Apex! But this is a free bump to try to get you some help. You may also want to post in the Neptune support forum.
