what’s the difference then between sync and anti-sync? I’m assuming either the run opposite intervals (one on/one off) or inverse intensities (one at 35%, the other at 65%)
thanks for the help

I control my MP10's with my Wave Engine v2. They are pre Mobius pumps. I used the RF module from my ReefLink and installed it in the WEv2. I have several schedules setup to control them depending on time of day. The first one below is to put them in feeder mode. This is done using a feed mode output that is triggered on by the feeder coming on. This one has the schedule set for all day so it will come on regardless of the time if the depends on setting is met. In this case it is only met when the feed mode output is on. That is set to stay on for 30 minutes once it turns on. This one is set for a constant speed of 6% during feed mode.
The Next one below is morning flow. This one starts at 8:00am and runs to 12:30pm. The flow pattern is LPS reef. and max speed is set to 60%. This and the rest of the schedules have a dependency set to the feed mode but they are set to off if on so if feed mode starts this or any of the rest of the schedule that may be running when it happens will stop and the previous schedule feeder flow will take over instead. The flow patterns are Hydros flow patterns. I do have a LPS tank but I do also use the SPS flow pattern also.
The next one below would be the first post feed mode schedule. This one is set to run from 12:30pm to 1:30pm and uses the nutrient export flow pattern. It takes an hour for a complete cycle of this flow pattern so that is why I have it set to 1 hour. The speed range is set from 1% to 60%. I have a 42 gallon hex tank with 2 Mp10's so 60% is quite a bit of flow.
The next one below is the afternoon schedule. It is set to run from 1:30pm to 5:30pm. It uses the SPS flow patter for this time period. Max speed is set to 60%.
The Next schedule below is the post feeding 2. It basically the same as post feeding 1 except for the time it runs. It runs from 5:30pm to 6:30pm. It is also the nutrient export flow pattern and set for max flow of 60%.
The next schedule below is the evening flow pattern. It runs from 6:30pm to 10:00pm. It uses the LPS flow pattern with a max speed of 50%.
The last schedule below is the night mode. It runs from 10pm to 8am when the morning flow schedule takes over again. This one uses the sine wave flow pattern with a 30 second duration and a speed range of 3% to 30%. So it keep a varying flow at night but it is a lot milder than the others other than the feeder flow mode. With the WEv2 the WEv2 is the master pump and the MP pumps are set to either the same side as master, back or opposite, Since I can set that on the individual pumps I setup all three sides in each schedule even though I only have two pumps. Unfortunatly the WEv2 will not work with MP series pumps that have Mobius installed. If they cannot be downgraded to a previous firmware version they cannot be controlled. If I ever have to replace them it won't be Vortech. I will pick something that is compatible with the Hydros system.
