I want to acclimate a new anemone by gradually increasing the amount of halide light per day.


If Moon 000/000 Then MNL ON //Moonlights
If Timer MNL= ON Then LT1 ON //Halides
If Sun 000/000 Then LT2 ON //actinics
If Sun 000/000 Then LT1 OFF //Halides

I will set the date to March 25th , when the moon is setting one hour after sunset which will keep the lights on after sunset for about one hour. The next day the halides will be on for 1:50 because the moon sets 50 minutes later . Then 2:40. .....After a week I will set the clock and date back to normal.

Will this work?

Slight correction

If Moon 000/000 Then MNL ON //Moonlights
If Sun 000/000 Then LT1 ON //Halides
If Sun 000/000 Then LT2 ON //Actinics
If Timer MNL = ON Then LT1 OFF //Halides off if Moon lights on
If Timer LT1 = OFF Then LT3 ON //Sump Light on if Halides off.

I set the calendar for March 25 and turned the lights on for the beginning of the day and the daylight lengthens as moonrise gets later after March 25th. Same idea, just puts the halides on at the same time every day and shuts them off 50 minutes later every day.
