Thunderstorm

Scoted · 01/20/2018, 12:01 PM

I just added the Reeflink to my Radion and I was playing with the app on my phone. I turned on the thunderstorm and my fish went flying! My clown was looking at me from under the frogspawn with a look of disappointment! I felt like a jerk. Do the fish get used to this or not?

Darken room... someone takes a flash picture of you... do you ever get use to it?

That mode is simply there for the viewer.

Has no benefit to the tank.

One of the light manufacture's selling point.

But to answer your original question... I think your clown already did.

Let your poor fish swim in piece.

+1 a silly option that does nothing for the fish or tank, except freak them out

I say add some loose wires to the water on a matching timer to give them the full experience!

We removed it from the software many years ago - it bring more cons then pros for the tank(fish and corals)... ;-)

Its a gimmick aimed at having something to sell.
