daylight savings time..

SueT · 10-28-2006, 07:26 PM

Does anyone on here canhe their lighting timers to match DST?? I asked my guys that change my water for me and he said no, they don't. So does anyone on here or am I being silly...

lcstorc · 10-28-2006, 07:46 PM

I change mine but it is only because of my schedule. I want the lights on when I am actually here if possible.

na i dont. i set mine around my sleep and work schedules.

SueT · 10-28-2006, 07:57 PM

I hear ya Lynn.. being that I'm home during the day and not able to work I am able to watch the tank whenever I want. That does make a difference.

Thanks prow... I think I don't feel quite a silly.

I was wondering the same thing... I have just found out there are timers that have that option for daylight savings time... who knew???

Our timers have that function & automatically picked up the DST.

Mine are the old boring kind so I reset manually. LOL

If I gotta get up an hour earlier everyday so does my tank!

I do not change mine, trying to time sunrise/sunset with the tank (accept I cheat a bit and keep the lights on a little longer), but then again I am attempting to get my clowns to spawn too and I am afraid an hour change in light's on and off wouldn't be too good....
