Tunze 7095 Help

[fluidimagery]

I setup my new Tuze 7095 with 2 x Nano Stream 6055s yesterday.

Everything is working great but I'm trying to understand the night mode / moonlight.

Reading the manual is difficult as it seems it was translated.

Does night mode happen automatically or am I supposed to put it in this mode every night? (I'm assuming it just lowers the flow)

I was hoping this was done automatically using the light sensitive moon light.

This is not the case unless I'm doing something wrong.

When I have the 7095 set to Night Mode and Moon Light the moon light just stays on 24/7 as does the reduced flow.

Any help or directions would be great.

The moon light LED is also a light sensor that will put the controller into the night mode when your lights are off.

I think you need to move the sensor closer to your actinics or MH if it is staying at night mode all the time.

as cali said the prob have to move the sensor so the it detects no light in the tank and whe the mh's are on it it will switch off.

Should I have both modes on? (night mode and moon light)

The moon light / sensor is lit pretty well... I don't know if heat will become an issue if I move it further under the lights. I'll give it a try.

Yes, if you want the pumps to slow down and use their crappy single led moon light.

Make sure the light sensor is facing your normal light source, I have my about 3-4 inches away from my VHO actinic bulb and it worked fine for the last three years.

I was curious also how this thing works. I does not seem to slow the pumps down. Also the Moon light does not turn off when the antics go on. I have it located about 3 inches from the lights.

Thanks

Mine is definately not working properly. Even if I shine a flash light directly over the sensor the moon light remains on. Could it be a faulty unit?

Sounds like you have a bad sensor. Return it and get a replacement, or call Roger Vitko at Tunze America.

thanks, I posted last night on RC in the Tunze forum. Hopefully I'll hear something soon.
