Hello all!

I am looking for program suggestions for four Ecotech's MP40s on custom tank that is basically a tall wide 140 i.e. 4' x 2' x 28" tall tank.

I have a bare bottom with textured ABS I believe, and it is cruising along growing 90% SPS corals under high-ish lighting.

MP40s are positioned on each end, two on left and two on right side. Left side has bottom left side that is at about 80% output continuous to sweep detritus sand to front for cleaning. Other on left is top front. The other two are opposite so they do not blown directly against each other. Ill attach a few pictures if I get any responses here.

What programs for high random flow would you suggest for the other three pumps?? I have some type of ramping program but looking to get this a bit better.


Thank you!!!
 
I almost always end up just using reefcrest. I slow my pumps down to 50% at night. This is not needed.
 
I definitely understand run out or vibration occurs at 100% output.
