What is your configurations on the 7095?

[Infinitereef]

I am looking for ideas on the 7095. I have 2 6100 stream in my 180g pointing at each other on the side and wondering how should I control with 7095.

 

[rvitko]

I would use interval 2, 6 hr intervals, 3sec pulse from 30% to 100%.

Thats what i run now. Its like a wave box.

 

[Infinitereef]

Thanks.

Anyone has another configuration and what is the effect of it?

 

[cubuffs]

What buttons do you press and knobs that you turn to get the 6 hour interval with the three second pulse?

 

[rvitko]

Set it to Interval 2, set the Interval to 6 hrs by choosing 1-12hrs and then turning the knob half way, and the pulse to 3 sec by setting the pulse knob in the middle.

Also interested, what channels should the pumps be plugged in to?

 

[rvitko]

one in channel one and one in channel 2, basically the first and third sockets.

Roger,
Why the 1st and the 3rd. Why not the 1st and the 2nd for 1a and 1b?

 

[rvitko]

then they are both on the same channel and both doing the same thing, by using 1st and 3rd you can program each independently. 1a and 1b run socket 1 and 2a and 2b run socket 3.

Hi Y'all, just a question, and correct me if i'm wrong.
I've tried the interval 2, 6 hours period, 3 sec pulses.

but in that mode, 1 of the pumps is constantly at 30%. and there is only 1 "ACTIVE" pump.
after the 6 hours period off course they change activity.

my problem is that I need them both active to reach surtain places in my tank.

what do u suggest i do?

 

[elekamit]

P.S.

My pumps are 2 7400/2. tank is 110 gallon, and corals are mostly LPS with some sps.

 

[rvitko]

Use pulse mode in that case. Interval does not apply in pulse mode.

 

[elekamit]

ok

ok

well, what configuration do u suggest i do in pulse mode to give me the most flow?

and, here is my setup (should I change the positioning of my pumps?) :

from the front:

and here it is from the top:

Blue = rock work
Red X = Pumps
Purple = direction which the pumps flow to
Grey = Overflow box

And as you can see from the "actuall" front of the tank, the top back of the rockwork is with SPS, and from the middle down (including sand bottom) strictly LPS. the entire rockwork is build like a pyramid.

I am just worried that my SPS aren't getting enough flow.

Any suggestions?

 

[rvitko]

I think it looks good. I would try both 100/30 for each pump at 2-3 seconds and 100/30 and 30/100 and see what works better.

 

[elekamit]

On pulse mode yes?

 

[rvitko]

Yes.

 

[elekamit]

Do u think these 2 pumps are enought in my tank or would u recomend upgrading from the 2 to 1 6100 pump? (2 would blow the sand threw the roof)

 

[poknsnok]

what about 3 pumps?. I have 2x2100 and a 6000 on my 7095

 

[rvitko]

Elekamit- I think the 2 is best, it is better to have different sources/ directions of flow, not to mention that it gives you a back up.

Poksnok, The same general recommendations apply.
