Lightning storm. I want it off

Michael Gray · Dec 10, 2019

Somehow I started running lightening occasionally. Now I want it off. I went into thunderstorm on my p4 app. I went to schedule and I unchecked all 7 days during schedule and nothing is put into times. But I just noticed it still is flashing occasionally. How do I turn off lightning for good. I had one wrasse jump out

@Ditto and thoughts here?

This is crazy. I put the intensity to 1. Thinking that would work. Darkness to 0% and flash brightness to as low as it allows me to and pressed save. And I manually.pressed flash and its ***** bright still. I cant figure out how to turn off the lightening flashes for good. Its deadly!

I don't have my lights controlled by my Profilux so I don't have any experience with this but I checked my setting and for thunderstorm duration mine is set to 0, maybe try that?

I just set mine to 0. I'll wait and see. I also set my wait time and max wait time to 240 hours which seems to be the max. Lol. So if I cant stop it. atleast it wont go for 240 hours lol

Did you also go into each illumination channel
And disable darken by thunderstorm?

I just checked and they arent checked darken by clouds or thunderstorm. Not sure if they ever were.. and flashing still happened. But well see now that I changed duration to 0?

That does seem odd. @Vinny@GHLUSA ?

I'd love my lights to do this! Everybody has their own thing.

If this is still a problem, open a support ticket please.

I thought I would, too. Then I set it up. It was nice for a week. Haven't used it since.

You need to be using the guest login with the name and email you used when you created tickets.

Its a bad idea, it just stresses the fish and does nothing beneficial for the Tank.

Exactly... and it is a totally different environment. The fish you are keeping are meant to be a much greater depths, so the flashing would be much less intense. Not the same environment. As the OP stated it caused his wrasse to jump, because it startles them. Not any different than taking a dark room and turning on your living room lights really fast. The fish dart to a safe place due to stress.
