I am wondering how people program the gyre with the interface thru apex. Below is what I use and just one of the profiles. What does the magic pen on top do as it is preset to different speeds?

I have mine configured for alternating directions. Using two variable outputs and the custom cable, it runs in forward mode at 60% for 10 seconds, then switches to reverse at 100% for 10 seconds. At night I reduce the intensity to 30% and 50%.

What does the synchronizing do?

Since I'm using one variable output for the speed, and a 2nd output for the direction, the sync keeps the two outputs changing at the same time.
 
What would be the best option if you only have one pump? I only have one gyre in my tank and a mp40qd on the other side
