Has anybody figured out how to make a reef link go offline without unplugging it? Currently I cannot click on any point on the graph without taking control of the Radions and applying that point. For example, if I just want to look at my settings, I cannot do that without applying the point that I click on. Normally it is fine, but if I am messing with the lights in the middle of the night, clicking on a 1 o'clock PM graph point turns the lights on if that makes sense? Right now I have to unplug it, make my changes, then plug it back in to apply them if I don't want to interfere with the normal light schedule.
 
I hate this too.. Only negative I've found with the Reeflink+radions. I wrote customer service, might follow up on that since it's been a little while. I would bet it's a pain for the coders..(programmer myself)
I just cover my tanks with a piece of cardboard lol..

Good idea lol....I may have to do that as well. Seems like a pretty simple addition to be able to take the Reeflink offline when needed. Oh well, at least I am not alone.
 
I keep running into the issue where my Radion jumps to 100% when I turn on the live demo from my Mac. I only have my lights up to 25% and this has happened on two occasions now. What would it take for that crazy jump in intensity to damage my coral? I frantically tried to exit the program each time and unplug my USB cable but it will stay on at the same intensity... I'm guessing the max exposure time was 20-30 seconds prior to finally unplugging the main power source.

I haven't witnessed any bleaching but this erratic programming definitely has me concerned. I even think the starting intensity upon first plugging in a new Radion is a little brighter than it should be. Any tips on using the live demo without nuking my coral?
