Mike not at all on this tank. I don't even have ANY moonlights what so ever on this tank. It's in my office and the tank gets zero light from 5pm until 7:30am and NONE over weekends or holidays. My office in deep inside of a building and when the main lights of the building go out it gets pitch black in my office.
My tank at home has extremely accurate and realistic moonphase rendering from the GHL ProfiLux and the SimuStick I have but not this tank.

Hi Mate,
great stuff!!! Loved the pics.
So the tank that doesn't simulate the moon and has blackness over weekends and holidays is the one that has spawned, you don't read about that everyday, to a degree that contradicts everything.....
unbelievably amazing though, good stuff, if you could find the explanation behind it would be even better, how would a coral know to spawn at the same time each year under those lighting conditions??

Yes that's exactly right. Also keep in mind that my office is 100% climate controlled (temperature, humidity etc) so it's pretty much the same year round so no seasonal temp change either.
I came into my office today and my office tank has again SPAWNED! It must have mostly happened predawn but there are still "eggs" floating in my tank and being released from the GSP right now.
11/24/2014 Predawn AM start (still occurring 9:00am)
Here are the "Details" for comparison:
Lunar phase today is Waxing Crescent.

We had some significant weather (Rain & wind) yesterday and today is chilly and very windy.

You will find that all spawning events occur according to the cycle of moon. Full moon to a larger extent than the new moon. The three days after each one.
Today 3/18/2015 my office tank spawned again. I came into my office this morning at 8am and the tank was in FULL SPAWN.
