This is my schedule. It runs reef crest most of the day. After lights out it runs lagoon at night. The peaks are a power flush so nothing settles on the bare bottom. The color of the dots tell what the mode is; pink is gyre mood, the green is constant, and the yellow is reef crest or lagoon.
 
I am running the M1 on my new 180 peninsula build with the synergy reef overflow. At some point I will be running various reactors and what not T'd off, but for now it is just the return pump. Anything above the first few LEDs lit up, and it pushes so much water the silent overflow becomes not-silent, there is just so much water coming through the overflow.

This pump is DEAD silent. I was running a Jebao (Jecod) DCS9000, which is the new version. And even on the lowest setting, there was a sound like a fan running. The tank is in the living room, so noise is a concern.
