Tunze Stream control?

No, you don't need specify timer names for the profiles. You are using timer names PM7 and PM8 so you must name those in the timer names section:

PM7#-E01
PM8#-E02

thats what i did curt...here is what i have (i am trying to do your example above)
name section
PM7#-E01
PM8#-E02

program section

After preordering. checking the mail daily :) Getting the Auqasurf a week ago I finally got around to hooking this monster up! Should have done this a week ago! got about a 3/4 inch wave going. any suggestions on how to get more? Tank dimensions are 50X30.5x31 useing 2 Tunze 6000's on oppisite sides of the tank. I will probably also add a 6100
here are my settings so far.
If Time > 00:00 Then TN1 PF1
Pmp MODE sD for PF1
Pmp Int 020/100 for PF1
Pmp OSC 00/08/06 for PF1
If Time > 00:00 Then TN2 PF2
Pmp MODE SD for PF2
Pmp Int 020/100 for PF2
Pmp OSC 08/06/00 for PF2

for the first time I am happy with the overall flow in the tank :) but I know it can get better. Also any chance of harming the pumps by going below 30%

This code will do what you would like, however, it takes 3 intermediate timer names. You could reduce this by keying the mode changes off of another timer name (like lights).

OSC 060/180 ON/OFF Then FO1 ON
OSC 180/060 ON/OFF Then FOO ON
OSC 120/120 ON/OFF Then FO2 ON
If Timer FO2 = OFF Then PM1 OFF
If Timer FO2 = ON Then PM1 ON
If Timer FO1 = ON Then PM1 PF1
If Timer FOO = OFF Then PM1 PF2
If Timer FO2 = ON Then PM2 OFF
If Timer FO2 = OFF Then PM2 ON
If Timer FO1 = ON Then PM2 PF3
If Timer FOO = OFF Then PM2 PF4
Pmp MODE sD for PF1
Pmp Int 024/100 for PF1
Pmp OSC 07/07/00 for PF1
Pmp MODE sD for PF2
Pmp Int 030/100 for PF2
Pmp OSC 50/50/00 for PF2
Pmp MODE SD for PF3
Pmp Int 024/100 for PF3
Pmp OSC 00/07/07 for PF3
Pmp MODE SD for PF4
Pmp Int 030/100 for PF4
Pmp OSC 00/50/50 for PF4

What will the pump be doing if F00 = ON?

Curt,
I noticed that retailers are listing the msrp as $199.99, guess your MACNA price was a special then :)

Just backordered mine for $164,00. And another online retailer offered for $149,00 (but I don´t like its services). Both are RC sponsors.
 
When FOO is on it will follow the settings controlled by timer's FO1 and FO2. The AquaController simply evaluates the statements from top to bottom, and the last true statement's action is what is sent the AquaSurf/DC's.

Another option would be to use RND statements to cycle through the modes - it would use fewer timer names as well:

RND 060/60 ON/OFF Then FO1 ON
RND 120/120 ON/OFF Then FO2 ON
If Timer FO1 = ON Then PM1 ON
If Timer FO2 = ON Then PM1 PF1
If Timer FO2 = OFF Then PM1 PF2
If Timer FO1 = OFF Then PM2 ON
If Timer FO2 = ON Then PM2 PF3
If Timer FO2 = OFF Then PM2 PF4

Curt i am using this profile at the moment with your RND suggestion and wanted to ask you how i would best modify it since both my 6100's are on the same side of the tank. In addition want to add a statement for gentle flow once my night lights start til the next morning.

thank you,
Ben
 
Ok Curt, how would I enter a new timer name such as FOO, FO1 or FO2 if all my DC8 are occupied, when I tried adding the timer name is willl ask me:
FOO=? E01, or E02, but E01 and E02 are occupied by PM1 and PM2.
 
Assign a dummy timer (an unused one.... say B24... doesn't really matter as long as it is unused).

I used the following the statement, but my stream pumps either osilate to either creat wave or having both streams going from 5 sec 30 then 5 sec 100 at the same time. I would like to shut off one stream for 30 mins and have the opposite stream turn on for 30 mins and vise versa before going to growing surge such as pm1 on pm2 off -> pm1 on pm2 on->pm1 on pm2 off again for 30 minutes. These are the features comes with Tunze 7094 but can't never create with the Aquasurf, did I do anything wrong in the statement.
I tried adding the FOO to accomendate
OSC 060/180 ON/OFF Then FO1 ON
OSC 180/060 ON/OFF Then FOO ON
OSC 120/120 ON/OFF Then FO2 ON
but ACjr won't allow me to add anymore since I maxed out on names, so I have to use RND to cycle through as Curt suggested.

RND 030/30 ON/OFF Then FO1 ON
RND 60/60 ON/OFF Then FO2 ON
If Timer FO1 = ON Then PM1 ON
If Timer FO2 = ON Then PM1 PF1
If Timer FO2 = OFF Then PM1 PF2
If Timer FO1 = OFF Then PM2 ON
If Timer FO2 = ON Then PM2 PF3
If Timer FO2 = OFF Then PM2 PF4
Pmp MODE sD for PF1
Pmp Int 024/100 for PF1
Pmp OSC 07/07/00 for PF1
Pmp MODE sD for PF2
Pmp Int 030/100 for PF2
Pmp OSC 50/50/00 for PF2
Pmp MODE SD for PF3
Pmp Int 024/100 for PF3
Pmp OSC 00/07/07 for PF3
Pmp MODE SD for PF4
Pmp Int 030/100 for PF4
Pmp OSC 00/50/50 for PF4
 
Do this instead and then you should get the 3 modes of operation:

RND 030/30 ON/OFF Then FO1 ON
RND 60/60 ON/OFF Then FO2 ON
If Timer FO1 = ON Then PM1 ON
If Timer FO1 = ON Then PM1 PF1
If Timer FO2 = OFF Then PM1 PF2
If Timer FO1 = OFF Then PM2 ON
If Timer FO1 = ON Then PM2 PF3
If Timer FO2 = OFF Then PM2 PF4
Pmp MODE sD for PF1
Pmp Int 024/100 for PF1
Pmp OSC 07/07/00 for PF1
Pmp MODE sD for PF2
Pmp Int 030/100 for PF2
Pmp OSC 50/50/00 for PF2
Pmp MODE SD for PF3
Pmp Int 024/100 for PF3
Pmp OSC 00/07/07 for PF3
Pmp MODE SD for PF4
Pmp Int 030/100 for PF4
Pmp OSC 00/50/50 for PF4

Curt
 
Might I also suggest changing the:

Pmp Int 024/100 for PF1

to:

Pmp Int 000/100 for PF1

The Tunze folks have indicated that running the pumps at < 30% will damage the pumps but is is Ok to have them go from 0 - 100%. As < 30% causes the pump to stop it should have any affect on the motion.
 
Hi Curt,
I need your help here, the program below only gets me three modes,
1 is wave where 2 streams synchronize at 0.7 on and off,
then 1 stream will stay 0.7 on and off and another one switch to
Pmp Int 030/100
Pmp OSC 50/50/00
then both streams going
Pmp Int 030/100
Pmp OSC 50/50/00

What I want to do is to have 2 streams alternate on and off for 30 mins once at a time, meaning PM1 on PM2 off then PM1 off PM2 on for 30 mins. then both on at the same time for
Pmp Int 030/100
Pmp OSC 50/50/00
before switch to wave action again.
Thanks for your help,

Can you also explain what this statment means
If Timer FO1 = ON Then PM1 ON
what I don't understand is when PM1 ON what the interval and OSC are running at.

Spencer

This is the program you provided from the last reply as reference

RND 030/30 ON/OFF Then FO1 ON
RND 60/60 ON/OFF Then FO2 ON
If Timer FO1 = ON Then PM1 ON
If Timer FO1 = ON Then PM1 PF1
If Timer FO2 = OFF Then PM1 PF2
If Timer FO1 = OFF Then PM2 ON
If Timer FO1 = ON Then PM2 PF3
If Timer FO2 = OFF Then PM2 PF4
Pmp MODE sD for PF1
Pmp Int 024/100 for PF1
Pmp OSC 07/07/00 for PF1
Pmp MODE sD for PF2
Pmp Int 030/100 for PF2
Pmp OSC 50/50/00 for PF2
Pmp MODE SD for PF3
Pmp Int 024/100 for PF3
Pmp OSC 00/07/07 for PF3
Pmp MODE SD for PF4
Pmp Int 030/100 for PF4
Pmp OSC 00/50/50 for PF4

Do this then:

RND 030/30 ON/OFF Then FO1 ON
RND 60/60 ON/OFF Then FO2 ON
If Timer FO1 = ON Then PM1 ON
If Timer FO1 = ON Then PM1 OFF
If Timer FO2 = OFF Then PM1 PF1
If Timer FO1 = OFF Then PM2 ON
If Timer FO1 = ON Then PM2 OFF
If Timer FO2 = OFF Then PM2 PF3
Pmp MODE sD for PF1
Pmp Int 024/100 for PF1
Pmp OSC 07/07/00 for PF1
Pmp MODE sD for PF2
Pmp Int 030/100 for PF2
Pmp OSC 50/50/00 for PF2
Pmp MODE SD for PF3
Pmp Int 024/100 for PF3
Pmp OSC 00/07/07 for PF3
Pmp MODE SD for PF4
Pmp Int 030/100 for PF4
Pmp OSC 00/50/50 for PF4

This statement:

If Timer FO1 = ON Then PM1 ON

means when timer FO1 is in the ON state, pump PM1 is going to be turned on (100% ON state/no profile user).
