Lights on when i don't want them to be...

[Holyreefer]

I have the aqua controller 3 and have noticed my lights are coming on at night 3amish when my light schedule is 2pm-10pm

Here's my programming for my 3 metal halides
Mh1 on if time >2pm mh1 off if time> 10pm
If time > 00:00 mh1 off

Mh2 on if time >2pm mh2 off if time >10pm
If time > 00:00 mh2 off

Mh3 on if time >2pm mh3 off if time >10pm
If time > 00:00 mh3 off

I'm using the Neptune dc8 for controls and have 3 of them hooked up

So a-1-8, a-9-18, b-1-8
Is. It better that I plug all 3 of my MEtal halides in the Same dc8 or is it better to have each one in its own dc8

The first question that comes to mind is: Is the AC3 clock correct?


BTW, it's better (and easier) if you just copy and paste the programming right out of the web page.

Yes the clock does show correct time
I've even gone to the controller on manual and turned things off only too see it is in auto so it shoulda been off. I was wondering if there were some type of wattage requirement per dc8 or something I'm getting the feeling my corals could burn if they continue to get too much light
