ACII Seasonal Lighting Settings

[jg24]

I just got a laptop, I would like to set up my ACII for seasonal lighting. I was wondering how everyone is doing that? Are you using certain corrdinates(Lat and Long) such as Fiji? Or how are you getting it done.

Anyone willing to offer up their setting?

I have mine set to Fiji :

Latitude:	18° 08'	South
Longitude:	178° 25'	East

set this in Aquanotes and then upload to the ACII

Froggie, did you have to set your tank time different than Central Time? I am just wondering so the lights aren't off when I am home.

I just adjusted the tank and clock time on the ACII to match when I am home in the evening.
I think it ended up being VHO, VHO, 10k, 10k in 30 minute increments starting around 11am and then everything sequentially turning off again by 11pm.

Does it actually calculate based on the longitude to know your time offset? (ie does is actually use Fiji time if you put in fiji coords?) If so, couldn't you just use Fiji latitude and MN longitude and net our timezone but tropical day/night patterns based on lat?

I don't have an ACII, so just throwing ?'s out there with my thoughts....
