Good Morning!

[WVNed]

What's your take on the reef nexus board? Is it a pretty slick app? I just programmed my 48 photon v2+ for the first time the other day using the remote and found it slightly caveman..

After doing what you just went through for a couple of years it's way better.

You program each channel in segments with a start time and end time. It draws the graph of the result on the screen.
You can also copy one you have already done and apply the same program to another channel.

There is a manual mode where you just have a slider for each channel.

There are 2 modes for schedules. The first one you define the length of time the light is on first and then fill in segments between those 2 times. The second one is a 24 hour program.

I tried the first one twice and each time I saved the program the light came on though it was late and it should have been off.
So I did the second one and it worked fine.

This was a retro problem for me so I knew what to do though. When I bought my Photon originally all those spots in the program had to have values entered in them by the remote. The overnight ones had to be told zero if a channel was off or else the light did random things.
I suspect I could go back and enter a 8am-8pm program now that all the memory positions have been programmed by the app but I didn't bother.
There really isn't much difference in the 2 modes except for the second one you have to remember the start and end time yourself.

Good Morning my Friends.
Had a good night last night. It was the first time I slept all the way through, uninterrupted, since my seasonal Cluster Headache cycle started. Doesn’t necessarily mean the cycle is over but we shall see.
May just be the Good Lord giving me a break for doing a good deed yesterday.
Lights are just now starting to ramp up over the tank and my living room “slice of ocean” is coming to life.
We have another cold front expected to pass through starting tonite so It’s gonna be a chilly weekend.
Watching the morning news, having my first “Cup-O-Joe” and waiting for the parrots to wake up for their breakfast.
Hope Y’all have a great day and have fun plans for the weekend.
Stay Safe!
Stay Healthy!
Stay Happy!
&
Try to do a Random Act Of Kindness if you can!
Tis The Season!

Good morning.
Someone please tell my dog the clocks turned back an hour, he’s not listening to me. He is getting me up at 6 now instead of 7.;Yawn

Picture from my backyard before all the leaves fall. I love the fall colors.

 

[WVNed]

Good morning. Most of the color is on the ground here. I need to collect it and put it over the hill, returning it to the forest so the trees can use it again next year.

Good Morning Reefies
veterans hunt yesterday.
drove all the way over. (hour + half)
terrible draw so opted not to hunt.
drove all the way back (hour +half)
called the doc to get in same day. (muscle strain/tear/getting old/not sure cuz i ain't a doc)
wife wants to know how i get in same day and she can't.
xray ordered (to make sure it isn't something else (didn't have time last night)) and a muscle relax script. (again.. didn't have time)
heading back over with our vet again today to see if we can't get him a good hunt.
enjoy your day.

Good Morning!
feeding Ay Caribe and Capelin roe cubes today just sounds yummy. the fresh water fish like to be included so i give them some when feeding the SW. the chinchilla has never been given the chance to try some, i have to consider the possibility that i have not allowed her to try going beyond dry food. something about her thick fur leads me to believe they don't swim for food in the Andes.

 

[dbowman5]

once again i forgot that capelin roe plugs up my pipette

Jeanna just texted us. Lucky had to have 10 teeth pulled. She is going to have to chew his food for him. Since he got that weird blood autoimmune thing he hasn't been able to have his teeth cleaned, any antibiotics or vaccines.
Not sure what will happen now.

 

[WVNed]

Jeanna called. Vet is winging it. They are trying clindamycin and gabapentin. The teeth had to come out. He cant have penicillin or it's analogs or NSAIDs. She was off getting him canned food.

He is home now

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to write that up! It sounds like its worth the investment for the upgrade.

I forgot you can do this on my phone
Looks like this

There is a page like this for each channel

Like I said if you want the same segments from another channel you can copy them by swiping down on the segment screen and picking the one you want to copy.
This is on an iPhone.

 

[WVNed]

I deleted my schedule and put the other kind in. It has an feature that follows the phases of the moon at night and I set the intensity to 2%
It works fine now.

then you go to the channel pages and set the intensity you want or reshape the curve if you want to by adding more segments. I have run mine ramp up, flat, ramp down for a long time.

Good morning
The possibilities are endless. Have a great day.

 

[dbowman5]

i was wrong about the snow not sticking but there was so little of it it will be gone in a few minutes, Good Morning!

 

[fishguy242]

good morning all...

 

[Peace River]

Good morning everyone! Yep, it really is World Kindness Day. I had to double check. I appreciate people that dream big, but this year I'd be happy with "keep your hands to yourself" day!

 

[Jeffcb]

Good morning Reefers!!
Happy World Kindness day!!
Have a wonderful and blessed day!!
