Need Programming Help with Two VorTech MP-40s and One Orbit-4

[jphilip813]

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

There's no golden setting for those pumps.

I have my vortech running different modes throughout the day, and my orbit is on a gyre setting 2 seconds on and 2 seconds off.

The key is to keep it random.

Is the video yours?

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
