Vortechs question#2, what mode do you use?

[Capt_Cully]

I'd been running random reef crest (yella ), trying out lagoonal (purple). Purple almost seems to get things cooking a bit better just less peaks and valleys...

 

[pmemmer]

I use the lagoonal mostly. I'd use the wave pattern, if it weren't for the noise (I'm using an MP10, so I'm not sure how that compares to your larger vortechs).

long pulse

That's next Brandon.

 

[Tonynlo]

Long pulse, anti-sync.

reefcrest!

Is there documentation out there on exactly what the different patterns do? Will be programming my vfd closed loop soon and interested in known-good starting points.

I'm using the lagoonal, but I thought lagoonal is yellow, with lights 3 and 4 on. http://ecotechmarine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/MP40_MP10-QuickStart_rev6.pdf

I use purple (2) EcoSmart NTM (Nutrient Transport Mode)

 

[Capt_Cully]

Oh, I don't know. I was using the MP40W manual. I got my MP40ES used so no manual. I assumed they'd be similar?

The standard modes green, yellow, pink, and blue are the same. There are two new modes on the ES and it has more programmability for duration of feed mode, duration of night mode, and dialing in waves.
