AI Nero 3 random setting schedule suggestions

[BAMslam93]

Hi all!

I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out the best flow schedule with my AI Nero 3 in my 15 gallon cube mixed reef (LPS dominant). I'd like to use a random setting so I can have that natural reef flow pattern throughout the day.

Right now, I have the wave maker on the front left side of the tank just about 4 1/2 inches below the surface pointing to the right wall and slightly curved toward the back so the flow goes around the rock and in the same direction as my return nozzle. What I'm noticing is that once the flow hits the right wall, some of it curves down toward the sand and upwells to the center in a clockwise motion.

Any thoughts? Just want to avoid creating dead zones while making sure all corals get enough flow

rmbr, you need surface agitation, and enough flow to supply the corals, but not annoy them, that is what I am seeing happening with the frogpspawn and corals near that, I would move it up a bit

Yup, I've been thinking about raising the wave maker an inch higher but water has some nice wave action at the surface right now
