Hi there,
My first post in here so hopefully it's in the right place etc.
I'm after some advice from folk with the EcoTech MP40 powerheads with a ReefLink.
I've had these on for 9 months and I've created my own schedule but I'm not entirely convinced it's getting the best results out of what are clearly very good powerheads.
My set up is as follows:
400 litres mixed reef, mainly SPS with some LPS (2x Goni's, 5x hammers).
4ft wide.
2x EcoTech MP40 Powerheads.
Nyos 3000 Skimmer.
Balling Method.
Dosing NO3POX4.
The reason I'm not entirely happy is I am constantly in the tank with a turkey baster and ramping the power heads up to try and battle detritus pretty much daily.
The schedule I have is as follows:
00:00 - 06:00 - Constant Speed - 20%
06:00 - 08:30 - Nutrient Transport - 60%
08:30 - 11:00 - Reefcrest - 70%
11:00 - 14:00 - Reefcrest - 60%
14:00 - 17:00 - Lagoon - 50%
17:00 - 00:00 - Constant Speed - 35%
What experiences have people had in here with their schedules? Any advice welcome!!
