Good morning everyone,

So I have an IM 50 Lagoon AIO. I'm running them at 100% on random mode and in anti sync. I'm still getting dead stops in the tank. And was wondering what you guys would Do.

1)redo the rock work, since i don't have that many corals.

2)sell them and get mp40's

Or what modes are you guys finding works for you? I have them straight across from each other.

Thank you and have a great day!

I have 1 mp10 running to create a general flow. It's on yellow or blue doesn't really matter. It's not a gyre just big tank flow, it's also placed bottom third behind my rocks to push stuff up.
Then I have two dc tunzes Turbelles mounted high that I use for directional flow. These I adjust based on coral location. Flow oscillates between low and little higher. Nothing is synchronized. No dead spots and if I develop one, I'll redirect a Tunze or crank up the flow in that or the mp10.

Where do you have them mounted? I have one of each of the IM wavelink pumps about 4-6in above the sand all the way in the back by the filtration wall. The big one is set to 1 (lowest setting) and the small one is set to 2 and combined with my return pump it’s almost too much for my lps corals. If I put them both on 9 I doubt the fish could swim. There can be many variables but where they are placed might have something to do with it. Got any pics of your setup?

How do you run them anti-sync? I have 2 in a nuvo20 and can’t figure out how to get them out of sync.

I think you just press the sync button until the sync light goes out. Mine somehow got disconnected from each other and I’m having trouble getting them back in sync.
