How did you sort the hour difference? I have the same issue
I deleted the light with the issue from tuya, and unplugged the light, plugged it back in, did the setup again.

I think it was just due to having the app running for the first time when I set the first one up.

It hasn't happened to me since. I've gotten a couple more for other tanks, and have had power outages and what not without the issue returning.

Are you running a preset or your own settings? I find my water looks cloudy on sps dominant setting

Cloudy? That may be something to address that the light is revealing to you.

But yes, I took one of the presets, and tweeked it and saved it. I couldn't figure out how to adjust the times on the preset, so my initial thing I did was move the time ahead for on time to be 10AM instead of 8. From there I just tweak the channel intensity as I feel like.

Having played with the channels it’s the blue that causes the cloudy look
You can see cloudy water due to "junk" that fluoresces..
Which is much easier to see when you can't see.

Point is it's probably cloudy regardless of the light color.
You just can't tell as easily.

Well the software is much to be desired. It’s always something with these units. I have 5 in total. They don’t EVER sync in grouping and unreliable in my opinion.

The lights themselves are great and work well. They just need to work on software

Did you make a group for them? If they are out of sync they probably need to be re-added, not to the group, but the entire device removed and set up as new. I've got quite a few of them in 3 groups and they've been great. But I feel like when I set up for the first time they have a chance of being an hour off. Happened to my first light, and a friend's first 2 lights.

Well that’s the thing. It is a weekly-bi-weekly thing having to re-add them which I do do.

It’s an annoyance but not the end of the world.

My radions and A.I. don’t do this but that’s not really a fair comparison at all.

If I were to buy these again it would be for:
-a fish room frat tank set up
-maybe with a nicer none-wifi controller set up(would be cool if they did Bluetooth)

Not downing the lights themselves though as they are really nice. Just don’t care for the software glitches all the time.

When you say 100% night what do you mean? im sure its a typo. Have the same light on a 34g red sea about 8 inches above the water and edited the LPS and soft coral schedule. Ramps up to 70% Blue and Purple channels that ramp up throughout the day to 85% before ramping down Teal ramps up to 65% and White ramps up to 39% before ramping down. Wondering if I should lower the whites even more....

Edit... when you say night thays the purple channel/moonlights right?
Here's where I am currently at.

That's interesting! What's in your tank LPS? Euphyllia?

I've got some montipora digita and plating montipora, branching frogspawn, candycane and duncan.
How difficult is the candy coral? Is it hardy? And, if I'm not asking too much, if you knew the range of par. That too would helpful. Has your rl90 program jumped time an hour before? Thanks again. I love this community!

Only during initial setup was the time off by an hour. Every since even after outages they have kept time for me.

The candy is hardy, doesn't require high light but seems to like it. I do not know my par.

Thank you very much! I didn't know my par until last week. I bought a $147 par meter about a month ago. They didn't send it until after Hurricane Helene ripped through the southeast. Then it finally shipped from TN...weird! I like candycane coral, and with your opinion I'm going to pick up a Frag of it. So, thanks again!

It's survived some gnarly stuff. From farming onto a kenya tree patch for a few days to getting half buried in sand, to getting dinos sticking to it, to hermits making it their home. Idk an ID for mine, but I assume most are at least half as hardy. Mine was $10 from a local guy. It went from 1 head to 40 in a year. Fast grower, green with a little orange. Branching, but is at the moment just a sphere that's starting to extend it's skeleton out.

I am a fan of it and will be looking for some cool colors of them soon.
