Operating vortech at minimum speed

What is the minimum speed of the vortech that you can set using the knob?
If I have a vortech operating at the minimum speed on reef crest or lagoon mode, will the speed go below this minimum speed?
and on night mode will the speed still be reduced to half if the knob is set to the minimum speed?

Thanks
 
Ganjero, if I understand this correctly, the knob adjusts the max speed in reef crest or lagoon mode. At least that is how I believe my 2 VorTechs work with Gen 1 programming. Also, when you switch to those modes, I believe you could be anywhere in the random cycle, so I switch to fixed speed (green) to set my max and then switch back to reef crest or lagoon. Tim, if I am misguided here, please let us know.
 
Hi Ganjero,

The min speed of an MP40w is 1000gph versus 500 for an MP20. If you are in reef crest and lagoon mode and the pot is set to min speed, there will be no changes below that speed because you are already set to min. In order to take advantage of these settings I recommend the pot be set to at least 1/4 speed.

bigtex52 is also right about his recommendation to set the max speed you desire in constant speed mode, then switch to one of the two random modes.
