Not happy with my flow

[reefernutz]

I've got a 60 x 30 x 27 tank with 2 6095s in the back corners and 2 6055s in the front corner controlled by a 7096. I'd like to get the opposite pumps pulsing to generate more of a wave action but I can't seem to get all 4 pumps to do it.

What setting should I use to make this happen?

Only channels 3 and 4 operate in wavemode so a 4 pump wave would require the 7092.340 Y adapter to split the channels. A true wave is going to require the pumps are on each side aimed straight across and inverse wave mode is used so the two pumps on one side are off when the two on the other are on.

Likely you can get a better wave from the 2 6095's if they are just positioned better and used in inverse mode. Then the 6055's can be used in Interval or pulse mode on channels 1 and 2.

Thanks Roger. Last question......at least for now. Are the 6095s made to support this? I want to make sure that I'm not going to burn them out. Thanks.

Yes, so is any 6055 made after fall 2010 and older ones really just need a new disk and drive unit and the only issue being noise.
