7095 Controller settings

[johnnstacy]

I could use some advice on where to set my controls. I am using the 1095 with two 6100's in a 150g tank 72x18x28H. I am bare bottom and will eventually be SPS.
Citing another post Roger made I currently have it set as follows:

Interval 2
Pulse 3 seconds
Interval 6 hours
1b at max
2b at 50%
1a at 30%
2a at 30%

I don't have night use set up yet so I assume 1a and 2a are not being used until you select either night mode or moon light. Please confirm.

I will also point out that the example in the instruction book for an Interval 2 setting is quite different than what you recommended. Their example was pulse at 1.5, interval at 30 seconds, and 1b and 2b are both max.

Let me know your thoughts. I really have no idea what any of it does anyway. I just want to make the most of it in my tank setting. Oh and here is a look at the tank we are talking about (before the streams went in:

The settings are only rough guidelines, the 7095 is essentially a toy to play with. With what you have set up the pumps on channel one will pulse between 30% and 100% and the pumps on channel 2 will pulse between 30% and 50%. At night if nightmode is on the pumps on channel one will stay at 100% and the pumps on channel 2 will stay at 50%. (Setting B is also the night mode setting) So, in your current set up the pump on channel 1 should pulse between 30% and 100% every 3 seconds, the pump on channel 2 will be idling at 30%. 6hrs later they will switch and the pump on channel 2 will pulse at 50% to 30% and the pump on channel 1 will idle at 30%. Again, their is no absolute here, you have to play around and find what you like and what works for you. My suggestions are based on roughly approximating natural tidal flow and making sure their is enough time between pulses that the pumps completely speed up and completely slow down.
