 Unless you have a Watchman Goby most fish can't tell standard from daylight time. You can leave it set as is all year or change it the whole hour with each change. The fish will not mind that much.

IMO you can change it one hour with no side effects whatsoever. I don't think it will hurt a thing.

I am deeply embarrassed, and greatly humiliated, but the inner working,and hidden mechanisms, of my chronometer are in such accord ,with the great sidereal movement that time is commonly reckoned, that I, with any reasonable degree of accuracy, cannot state the exact time.
However, there is a subspecies Cryptocenntrus cinctus swatchie that is far cheaper.

That's what sometimes happens in this hobby. Just ask a simple question like what time is it and many are more than willing to tell you how a clock is made.I also think synchronization with daylight in the am would be important for fish that go to schools.

I do not need the time channel.
My fish tell me when it is 8:00 pm. They even adjusted themselves for DST.
