Need Help

I have recently purchased 2 6100 & a 7095 multicontroller ,I am confused on how to set this up , I have never owned them only heard good things ,They are about 1 year old ,I have cleaned them as per the thread. I was wondering how to set them up in my 220,pulse,interval etc. Any help would be great.Im getting the magnetic holders tommorrow i only have the rocks that came with them ,dont have the room for them.

The setting and placement is largely trial and error and finding what works for your layout. A generic recommendation is place the pumps in the back corner aimed diagonally about 2/3rd down the front pane. Use Interval 2 with a 6hr Interval and 3 second pulses.

Thanks for the help,I also was wondering why they only read 80% when they are maxed out.I don,t know if that is normal.The boxes are at max level also.

That issue can be caused by two things. The pumps may be dirty with the drive units sticking a bit. The other possibility is that the LED's have too high of a resistance and the top LED is not coming on even though it goes to 100%. You might ask the previous owner if he had this issue, if not it is likely just the pumps have some build up, especially if they sat dry.

I figured it out ,The previous owner had the same problem ,he said they would light up every once in awhile. I wont have a problem can't go over 70% anyways,Sand storm. Great product wish i bought them 5 years ago when i set the tank up . Thanks again .

Well, we can replace the board if it is an issue. The parts you ordered were shipped yesterday.
