Can I really be honest??
You can, it will take a bit of coding and will look very messy and confusing, but doable.
You need one slope function for each point.
What I find it interesting is that if you smooth out that shape into a parabola looking wave form, which we already have, it will look very similar with very minimal margin of deviance and I personally think that corals and the human eye can't detect that deviance.
If you still want to go through with several points, we can give it a shot.

very true roberto. I built something similar, but had to disable rf module for space. I'll test it when I get my RA+ back on this tank. I would love to do mooncycle too without messing with the parabola too much. Any ideas other than give up one of the light spectrums?

What do you mean give up light spectrum?
You can use the blue channel and leave it to 1 or 2% to use it as moonlights.
I don't think you will be able to get a mooncycle out of the Radion. You will have to test it in your tank.
I find it too bright, but I'm used to very very dim moonlights too. I prefer it that way, so I use the RA dimmable moonlights to do the moon cycles instead of Radions.

When using the wizard to setup, you have to select a pattern (parabola, moonlights, etc) and you can't select both. I am thinking you mean I'd have to hard code it. I'll play with it some more when I get my RA+ back.

Yeah, you will need to hard code that.
