Can natural mode be modified?

DaytonaJoe · 02/18/2012, 07:01 PM

Specifically, the night portion of it. I was hoping for some moonlight but it seems like night in natural mode is completely dark. Is there any way to adjust that?

yes you can Its been a while since I did it but I think I went into custom mode and changed it.

I don't think you can change it. Only artificial mode. But I wish you could. I'd lower the intensity on it to 20% for my new corals, then raise that 5%/week, but keep the same graph Ecotech made.

no, you can modify the start of day, end of day (both time and settings), max daily intensity, add lightning storms and/or cloud cover, and you can add points to your hearts desire for the night.

How did you get thunderstorm and cloud cover icon in natural mode?

DaytonaJoe · 02/19/2012, 09:06 PM

Hmm thanks Rgauvin, how do you add points like that?

Double click the white circle, upper right of the screen that opens is settings to enable them and set probability.

In natural mode you can only do it at night, blue line, double click somewhere on the blue line, edit settings and save.
