Hi All,

I Recently ordered my Reef Angel controller & eagerly waiting for it to reach me asap.

While browsing thru Ragen I find that in internal memory coding option we have to go for both standard light values as well as for metal halide value as i am planning to use Led light for my tank i don't want memory values for mh as well as only one relay for lighting options. how to do it as i want to save memory for expansion module which i m planning to add in near future.

I generated a test code & m planning to upload the same when i will get my device.

How to remove Metal halides values from it. i am a newbie & i have next to zero knowledge of programming please be patient with me for next few days.

The Internal Memory values do not affect code space for your program. There is specific "storage" space on the controller (think like saving values to the windows registry or your saved settings with applications). Then there is "code" space where the program code that runs the controller gets placed. These 2 spaces are completely separate from each other. Having values stored in the Internal Memory will not affect anything at all. They are just sitting there waiting for you to use them (if you ever do).

So what you are worrying about is something you shouldn't worry about at all.

The main reason for my worry is that i want to have only one relay port for my led lights. as i am planning to add something else on the port assigned for mh.

No need to worry about that. You just need to not include or use the Metal Halide device when creating your code.
