I just bought a new light for my tank. It is supposed to be controlled through Wi-Fi with use of my phone – or iPad. It is also supposed to run through its own cycle of sunrise, the course of one day, and the sunset with some Moon cycles.
I have Wi-Fi connected – I can manually operate the light with my phone. I cannot seem to get it to go through a cycle on its own.
Here's my problem. When I am home every day I do not mind doing this. Now I am leaving on vacation and I still have not straighten out this problem. The person coming to maintain and feed my tank will not be able to pamper the tank as I do.
I have three fish, one shrimp, a cleanup crew – and an assortment of all types of corals. I'm afraid if I leave the light on 24 hours a day for two weeks I will have a major algae problem. But I do not know if the corals can survive with only the blue lights on?
I'm still going to try to straighten this out. I have a day and a half before we leave – but if you were me what would you do?
