Lighting

[Michael v]

I have the current USA loop marine set up. I have my timer set to turn on at 6:30 am and turn off at 7:00 pm. My question is when it shuts down it goes to moon light and stays on until 1:00 am before going dark. Is there anyway to have it turn off sooner? Also does this long light cycle have any affect on my fish. I couldn’t find anything in the instructions to adjust this.

That light period seems a bit long. Is there a way to adjust the period?

That’s what I’m trying to figure out. The instructions are kinda vague.

there has to be a way to fix it. call the company and ask, they should be able to walk you through it. otherwise you got a faulty light.

On the remote, select On time, adjust this to what time you'd like it to be sun up. Then select off time, adjust this to what time you'd like it to start going through sunset. It's perfectly fine to let it have a moon cycle. I like my tank to have 10 hours of "full" sun. Therefore my on time is 6AM and my off time is 4PM. I change this slowly depending on my schedule.

I wouldn't want to change my sunrise/sunset settings. Current is really good about its gradual rise and fall in intensity.

Update I got a response from current USA. It seems you can’t change the duration of time on the moon light setting but you can change the intensity to a lower level. What I decided to do is shut off the light at night. I’ll turn it back on in the morning it still does the gradual sun rise. That works for me. Thanks for your response.
