6025 on a neptune JR????

[cajunpuffer]

I tried searching for the answer to this but can not find it so here goes.....
After a break in period(what would you consider this time to be) can you run 6025 streams off a Neptune Jr. Controller? If so what would you recommend the shortest off times to be? I just ordered 4 of these for a 120gl seahorse/softy tank.

Thanks in advance Roger

Yes, provided they are not switched off and on more than every 15min and the longer the better.

Thanks for the as always prompt reply Roger.
How long should I let them break in for before putting them on a timer? I will set the timers for a 30 minute cycle times to be on the safe side.

i would not put them on a timer,you will subject them to premature wear and tear.

They should be OK on a timer, our tests determined that one off and on cycle every 15 minutes should still give a descent life span to the pump. It would last longer with fewer off and on cycles but it should be OK and still last many years. I would run them for a week with no timer.
