Okay I have a question that's been boggling me for a while.
Mobius has an acclimation mode. My current G6 XR30 intensity is 31%, I was hoping to slowly raise this to 40% to see how it would affect my reef.
My question is, if I leave my intensity currently at 31%, click on the acclimation mode and set it to 40%, it looks like it immediately gets brighter to the 40%? And it just confuses me. As a test I could set it to 100% in acclimation mode, and the lighting immediately gets brighter but I thought that acclimation mode meant it was going to slowly ramp up from my current setting, to the predesignated acclimation setting over a period of time? Am I missing something?
If anyone can explain it just so I feel a little more comfortable actually using the acclimation mode setting because I have literally just been raising the light intensity by 1% manually every few days, but I feel like an idiot for not using the acclimation mode for it's likely intended purpose.
Or is it only for when I bring home new coral or fish I can just hit that acclimation mode and it'll slowly ramp up from some specified percentage of my current intensity?
Any helps appreciated <3

Hi, you set 40% on the main intensity in the schedule page where you adjust the color etc, and then set the intensity to 31%(as a starting point) in the acclamation page.
