It really depends. I generally prefer pulse mode with one pump at 30% and another at 100% and then they switch off. Tide mode may be better if both pumps is too much but pulse mode carries the risk that something can enter the pump while it is off- usually a snail. The snail will be fine but your prop will be broken.

By switch off on pulse mode I meant they alternate or take turns not turn off.

thankx,roger
u think snail will have enough time to enter ?

I only mention it because it has happened to two people on this board. Tide is anywhere from 1min to 12hrs so it depends on what you set.
