help with rgb day/night cycle using mills()

Using Arduino LEDs and Multiplexing
1

so i have wired up an RGB strip correctly and it all works, i just need some help with the code.
bellow is the code, and in the //'s is the time i would like the fade/the over all time for that cycle to last. at the moment I'm getting a strobe effect. i did pinch the sketch from a tutorial online and tried to modify it. also, how do i get by the 50 day millis reset, or should the sketch be ok to carry on running after the 50 days?
thanks for any help!

using CTRL-T will reformat your code
together with code tags (#button above the smileys) it becomes more readable

Advice, millis will be too inaccurate for the long term, use an RTC (DS1307 or better DS3232 ?)

If you want to do it without RTC, you can build a 'circadian' clock.

  1. Use an LDR to measure the moment of dawn and dusk
  2. use millis() to time the time between these two.
  3. The middle between dawn and dusk == 12:00 (noon) (approx, you need to tune that).
  4. The other middle is 0:00 (midnight)

Will work like a charm and will adapt itself automatically (in a day or so) in spring winter summer and even when shipped to another timezone!
