    Radions don't add much heat to the tank even in a fully enclosed canopy. I wouldn't even bother, but if you really want to, I would do this.

    Create a virtual outlet.

    HighTmp
    Set OFF
    If Temp > 79.5 Then ON
    Min Time 060:00 Then ON


    Create a profile of whatever colors you want at a very low intensity but not completely off. I am calling it Dimmed as an example.


    In the advanced tab of the wizard (click gear icon). Add the following line.

    If Output HighTmp = ON Then Dimmed

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    Yes. You can choose how you want it to look in the profile setup. You could even do something crazy like make it only green or violet or something for a quick visual alert your temp is too high.

    Use a Profile as zombie suggested; Schemes are different things.

    Profiles are found by clicking on the Dashboard button that looks like a file folder. What you did will work, but does not give you any control over the spectrum, which a Radion profile does offer.
