Hey Reefers, I finally installed the Orbit 4 combined with 2 MP 40's in 108 INT mixed Reef system (after about 2 months). I am looking for some recommended programming... I couldn't find anything online/on YouTube...(Recently switched from a Temp set-up using the Jebao pumps (LOVE them)...Need some programming help

I see, you're wanting a standing wave like you had at the beginning of the video?

If so, it's going to be hard to do with all 3 pumps. They operate with different timing signatures, and you can't sync the orbit with the vortechs.

However, you can get the VTs to create a standing wave, you just have to tune the timing with "pulse" to get thw standing wave. It takes some time but it can be done.

Thw orbit however is going to conflict with thw VTs but that might be a good thing to keep the flow randomized.

Oh I didn't know that...thought they all worked together...and yeah similar to the cheap knock offs I had at the beginning of the video...thanks for the tip
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
