Hi everyone,
Sorry in advance as I'm sure that its something basic that I am missing but I can't for the life of me, figure it out.
For context, I am just getting back into reefing and currently setting up my "dream system". I am a first time Apex controller user....
I found a lighting program based on the seasonal table which I loved and followed the various directions in adjusting it to my needs

I have read the Comprehensive Manual as well as these links

Despite this I cannot figure out where I am going wrong
I have updated my seasonal timetable to that of my local times
Summer max earliest sunrise: 0439
Summer max latest sunset: 1910
Winter max earliest sunrise: 0659
Winter max latest sunset: 1653
My profiles are named in Fusion exactly as they are here:

This is the programming from my 3 Radions

Strangely, from approx 1500 today till 2100 today they have all been stuck on 15%. At 2120 they rose to 37% intensity and then at 2130 abruptly shut off completely.
Last night they went off at the correct time but seemed to stick on 60% longer then they should have
In essence, I am using the exact programming from the very first link
The only things I have changed are:
- profile names
- intensity/spectrum of each profile
- the +/- of Line 11 for my EarlyPM profile (in the original it is 450/030)
- removed the cloud/storm weather patterns (although I have been able to get these to work fine)
All of which leaves me very confused
Assuming I can get these schedules to work, in summer the profile would start at approx 0430 and end at 2330 and in winter, start at 0430 and end at 2100
The reason I wanted it to start so early but have such low intensity lights is that I also had grand plans of building a rising/falling tide based on a similar amount of profiles. I haven't attached my vortechs yet as water is going in the tank tomorrow :
I apologise for the long winded post but would really love some assistance in getting this working
