No I don’t. Try to keep things consistent
 
If I ever run for politics it would be for one goal..... ELIMINATE daylight savings! I don't understand why we are still conforming to this. To answer your question, my lights are connected to a smart outlet and it adjusts for daylight savings.
 
All my equipment is setup to automatically adjust for daylight savings. Apex, AI lights, all automatically change
 
x1000 Apex

I have my lights come on in the morning before I leave to work so I can check on everything. Then go off at night before I go to bed.

+1 for Apex doing it.

They are looking at getting rid of the time change here and staying on DST all year round . That would be awesome :cool:

I don't know anyone who likes the clock moving around by one hour leaps and lags.

I do not submit my tank to this kind of torture. It seems bad enough that the tanks inhabitants live under artificial light with only a little natural light creeping in and almost no visible-natural lunar cycle.

I am hopeful that one day our clocks will be adjusted to match the natural rotation of the earth and that 0600 will be always reflect sunrise across the different time zones so that our "daylight" hours match what is happening in the heavens.
 
Yup.
 
I’m not smart enough to use my Apex, and I am too lazy to plug in the lights to a timer, so I have been turning them on/off manually
 
Nope, my fish and corals cannot tell time. My lights and auto feeders stay the same and fish and corals lose no sleep over it.
