So I know I've seen a thread with instructions for programming the lighting schedule for mid afternoon to after 12:30am and I can't find it. Anyone wanna help?

Wow, guess I asked in the wrong forum.

I don't know the thread you speak of. However just start the lights at 5% intensity and whatever color you want at the time you want it to come on. Then just use the remaining set points to ramp the light as fast or slow as you want. Here would be an example of a 10 hour light schedule on the controller.
TIME - INTENSITY / COLOR
14:00 - 5 / 0
15:00 - 40 / 20
17:00 - 80 / 35
21:00 - 80 / 35
23:00 - 40 / 20
24:00 - 0 / 0
I would call this schedule a 20,000K Look. If you want mid day to be more 14,000K then up your color number to 60 or 65% instead of 35%. You also have to adjust your intensity for your tank and light. 80% may be too much. Start with 60% intensity and you can always go higher.

Elementalj,
I found your thread while trying to solve the same problem myself. I think I just figured it out. Just change the time on the controller!
For me, to reverse cycle the fuge, i'll set the spectral controller to 00:00 at the time I want the display tank to come on. Hope that helps anyone else too!
