Once you get the hang of the light composer you'll like the program, probably not as simple as ecotech but it does a lot more in the end.

i gotta say you picked one hell of a line up for equipment on this tank this is gonna run pretty smoothly for ya

I hope it runs smooth. I may still add a dosing pump to the setup down the road, but that's about it. I've put so much into the build I got nothing left for livestock..

I actually got my light rack welded up here at the office yesterday after work. Just need to get a couple coats of black paint on it and pick up was rubber weather stripping so it does slide around and scratch the euro-bracing.

My main issue so far has been that no matter what I tell it to do at night at 9 or 10pm (ie. all leds off) at 12:09am the HV come back on for the night until the first stage of the program starts in the morning. So basically, I can't get them to turn off at night except for 2 hours between 10pm and 12:09am.

I'll play around with it more tonight and see what happens.

It maybe your moonlight setting, go to the channel that stays on and uncheck the moon simulation.

Also make sure you have a zero setting in the morning, ie at 9pm @ 10%, 10pm @ 0%, 7am @ 0%, 8am @ 10%

So your tank is in the land of the Midnight Sun?

What do you think of the colours in the light so far?

Well I haven't really played around with them enough to say for sure, but so far I love them.

Got the program figured out tonight and got the light hung above the tank. My phone doesn't like LEDs, so apologies for the pics.
