Hi All!
I am having a little flow issue in my 65 mixed reef and was having sand piling up on one side of the tank bottom. So I bought a 2nd MP40. I have the ReefLink set up and both MP40s are recognized.
Now to figure out the programming... I'm looking for a starting point that I can tweak from.
Any suggestions?

Using reeflink, do I need to make one a master and one a slave?
Sync or antisync?
I know you can import other user's templates into ReefLink. Is there a repository for templates anywhere?

Here's an image of what ReefLink set up by itself (Right_MP40 is the new Vortech)...

Thanks!
Brian

When running Vortechs at opposite ends, I’m a fan of using Reefcrest in antisync mode. Because of the relatively short 36” span of your 65 gallon tank, set it at a max of around 40% intensity. If you feel like using a night mode, then for the evening hours, go Lagoon mode at 25% intensity, again on antisync.

I’ve actually never used NTM, but I’d imagine you just squeeze it into your scheduling with the Reeflink.
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
