I didn't see anybody mention adapting for the lunar cycle.
Is anyone doing that?

I have the illumina so I have 3 hour sunrise 7 hours of day light 3 hour sunset then the lunar cycle for night time. Im thinking of cutting down my day duration as it maybe a little long. I also have 6 cloud periods a day with a 5% chance of lightning!

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.
