Okay so I love that I can set my lights according to the season and that the apex will change the time of sunset and sunrise. However I want to modify it some.

Here is my current program command for my lights.

Fallback OFF
If Sun 000/000 Then ON
If Temp > 82.5 Then OFF

This causes the lights to turn on and set according to when the sun rises and sets.

However I want to modify my sunrise and set so that my aquarium lights stay on to about 10:00 PM. I could change my time on my clock so that it is at 18:00/6:00PM on the display when the actual time is 10:00 PM. This would cause sunset around 10:00 PM but my clock on the display would always be wrong.

I don't want my clock to be wrong. So I am looking for a command to change the time of the sunrise and set by four to five hours later than what the seasonal time in the apex is. Make sense? Anyone know the program code?
Thanks.
