What setting do you have your MP40's dialed in to? Why did you choose it?
 
I use lagoon mode. I tend to vary it between reef crest and lagoon, but I feel that lagoon provides higher flow overall than reef crest

Alternate between Short pulse and long pulse through the day. I also have two 7 minute 100% constant mode points to clean off the rocks.

My whole tank loves this! I've never been a fan of the other modes, but my personal taste.
 
I use Tidal Swell, because it usually keeps the powerhead working a little more than when I used to use reefcrest, never had an issue with either of them, I just prefer having more flow.
 
I split time between Reef crest and Nutrient Transport mode. I swear my water is clearer after being in NTM for a while (probably my imagination).
 
I have two MP40's. I use Reef Crest independently on each (sometimes Lagoon). I think when they were synced, that one side wasn't ramping up to the maximum as much as the other.

+1. I have 2 MP60s in a 180

Reef Crest and once a day in NTM, setup in anti sync mode
 
reef crest mode
 
Tidal swell mode is what I am using because they say it is good for sps. lol

2nd picture is of the last two daily modes. Couldn't get it all in one screen shot.
 
I just got my mp40's today for my 90 gallon mixed. I was looking at purchasing the reef link but saw nothing but horrible reviews. How do many of you control you pumps. I do have the full Apex and was thinking about getting the module for it. I would ranther spend the $120 on something that I know works. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
