When the application is started and the controller connected, it displays the active schedule. The user is able to choose one of the predefined schedules (Shallow Reef, Natural Reef, Deep Reef or Overcast Reef):
• shallow reef: mimics the natural behavior of sunlight at shallow water depth and maximizes light output
• natural reef: mimics the natural behavior of sunlight at average depth. Ideal for a mixed reef.
• deep reef: mimics the natural behavior of sunlight at deep ocean depths. Ideal to highlight the fluorescence of LPS corals.
• overcast reef: mimics the natural behavior of sunlight while simulating an overcast sky during noon. Maintains a more constant light output over the day while changing color point.
These schedules can be loaded via the CoralCare application and still allow you to change time, color, intensity to your specific wishes.
The user can also define a new 24-hour light schedule, which can be saved to 1 of the 2 custom schedules and shared with fellow reefers via the app or via a text file on your PC.
