7096 programming

[HighlandReef]

HI, have a question about programming on the 7096 controller specifically around pulse and night mode.
I have my 7096 controlling 2-6100's, pulse mode on ports 3 & 4 for the wave action
power 2 is set 100 - 0 on ports 3/4
power 1 is set 0 - 100 on port 3/4
my question is how can i configure this to keep the wave motion going and not blow everything away when night mode comes on?
love the back and forth sway from the corals so would like to keep it
so since the pumps are set to 100% when night mode kicks in the pump on power 1 stays on constantly, so its at 100% and thats way too much flow, causes a typhoon
is there a way to set this up so when night mode goes on the pumps are off or at like 30% or something low so my lps dont get blow away?
if not do you guys have a firmware upgrade that allows you to shutdown both power 1 and power 2 during night mode?
wanted to add that i did download the latest software update on 9-7
let me know and thanks!

I could be wrong but I don't think that's how power1&2 work. I think night mode is separate & is simply lower power across the board...again I'm not certain on this

i could be reading the instructions wrong but if i am reading them correctly looks like power 1 stays on when night mode is on and power 2 is off or at low power, i will take another look but i think thats it?

from the manual
When activated, the “Night mode” function interrupts the pulse operation as soon as the aquarium lighting goes off; all pumps remain in “Power 1“ setting. In the morning, when the light is switched on again, the selected pulse operation of the pumps will start again.

The pulse mode pumps would switch to the power 1 settings, in this case 100% for one and 0% for the other. The closest to accomplishing what you want to do is Interval mode with the new update allowing idling of the off pump, you would set both power 1 settings to 30% and then one pump would pulse 30-100% and the other would idle. At night they would both be at 30%.

In the above setup what should power 2 be set to...
I'm so confused! Lol

There is nothing carved in stone, in fact personally I would want my night flow higher since this would reduce night time pH drop. But if you set power one to 30%, you would generally set power 2 to 100%.
