Hey everyone,
I have two MP40's running on my Mariner 130. I just discovered the parent-child mode. I setup a feed mode on the parent pump, but when I choose that template, the child pump switches to max power at over 4,000 gph stirring up everything in the tank.
Does anyone know what could cause this?
 
Is the child set up in anti-sync? If so, when your parent slows down to 1%, the child will speed up. Can you put them both in feed mode?

It is in anti-sync. I can put them both individually into feed mode successfully in the mobius app. But once I have them in parent child mode, as soon as I put the parent in feed mode, the child cranks up to max output. My typical output fir the pumps is around 1700 gph. The child pump will exceed 4000 gph even though the app acknkwledges the parent pump is in feed mode at 1% power (around 700 gph)

Yeah, Mobius is a pain. I spent so long trying to get parent and child to work right and eventually just made my own schedule for each of the mp40s. Instead of using mobius' feed mode, i use my apex to just shut off the outlets for 5 mins.

You might want to try All Off. It'll shut off your lights also(at least it does on mine), but both wavemakers should be off while the scene is running and then pick up where they left off. You can edit the length in the edit scenes section...
