So, I've tried to edit my set project to just have the royal blues on at night for viewing that pop we all love in the corals, but for some reason I just can't seem to make anything actually translate into what I want.

I've been trying to edit the project so it's royal blues only from 10:30 pm to midnight setting them at 5% brightness (not sure that's the brightness I want but started there).

I don't know if it has something to do with the fact I'm running acclimation mode to peak at 65% next week or not.

Here's a screenshot of the beginning and end of my project without any edits. Can anyone tell me what exactly I need to change to get my desired setting? Or maybe I'm not saving it correctly since I'm using someone else's project...:confused:

Change the time of your 11pm to 10:30 and make the blue channel 5%.
Add a new time at 11:58 with the blue channel at 5%
Add a new time at midnight with all channels at 0%.

I had tried all you said but was only adding a new time at midnight with all channels at 0% rather than 11:58 pm. I'm guessing the "ramp down" to 0 from 5 was just not working. Didn't even really process that as being an issue.

If what I suggested doesn't work, go from 5% to 10% and try it again.
 
I changed my project as discussed. I did notice on Saturday night by 11:30 or so the tank was dark, even though they are set to stay on until 11:58. But, I'm wondering if it just has something to do with the acclimation/ramp down that they just expire before they get to 11:58. I'm not sure, and half of me doesn't care much because I'm rarely looking at it that late. The other part of me wants to figure it out just for the sake of it. :)

I'm guess that has something to do with it. I don't believe the lights turn on below 5%.

That was my suspicion. As I said, I don't care too much honestly because I'm rarely up that late viewing the tank except on the occasional weekend night.
