Tunze 6095 and 7096...programming suggestions?

[EuroGTI]

Hello!
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a good program to run?
The tank is a 36x24x18 and all sps. I've played with it a bit, but having a hard time dialing it in.
What would you guys recommend as far as pump placement, and programming? Looking for something that will minimize dead spots and have good random flow for my sps.

Also. Where should I mount my light sensor for night mode! Had it in the back of the cabinet, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks!

Do you just have one pump or 2? With only one pump, basically every mode is the same since you have no pumps to alternate between. The photocell needs to be mounted under your aquarium lights, night mode will turn off when the lights turn on and vice versa. Night mode stops pulsing and keeps the pump at whatever power 1 is set to.

I have 2 pumps. It's a sps heavy tank if that helps.

The ideal would be interval with minimum speed switched on (only available with Windows), this would alternate between the two pumps but instead of the other pump being off, it will idle at 30%. One pump needs to be in socket 1 or 2 and the other in 3 or 4. I would set a 5-6 hour interval and set the pulse from 30-100% for each pump and pulse speed to roughly 3 seconds. Every 3 seconds the pump will switch speed, after 5 to 6 hours they will switch off and the pulsing pump will now idle at 30%.

Keep in mind night mode is speed 1, if you want night mode to be lower flow you need to set speed 1 as the 30% and speed 2 as the 100%.
