Good afternoon ya'll!
I got rid of my Vortech MP10 Wireless and went with the new IceCap 4k Gyre on my 40g Breeder. I have it set on one end and the flow is great but I'm having some issue that might not be fixable unless I buy a 2k for the other side of the tank but thought I'd ask here in case anyone had any more tips!
My main issue is the reverse function on the gyre. You can't use the reverse on an individual profile basis that I can see, it's either on or off in the pump settings.
For instance, I want to setup my pump so that it has sine wave flow from 10 - 50% on a 1 minute cycle duration for my daytime setting. Ok, done.
I want to setup my night time flow for a 25% constant speed. Ok, done.
I want to setup a cleaning profile for 30 minutes every day where it only runs in reverse at that time. Can't do it.
In the pump settings you can turn off or on the reverse function but if you do then it would randomly change my flow on my daytime profile so that it randomly runs in reverse.
Anyway to remedy this? I would be interested in other peoples profiles for the gyre if you'd be willing to share!
