    About to add 2nd vortech MP10. I am using Reef Crest now with a single pump.

    What setting do you use and recommend for 2 pumps? Why do you like it?

    I was thinking one of these 4:

    Anti-Sync them and leave it on Reef Crest?
    or
    EcoSmart Nutriet Transport Mode (MAster + Opposite)
    or
    EcoSmart Tidal Swell Mode (Master + Opposite)
    or
    Anti-Sync short pulse for a proper wave

    Thanks.

    I only have a single MP40, not duals, but IMO, the great thing about Vortechs is you get to play with all the settings :lol: I change settings often myself. See what your corals respond best to... If they don't seem happy some day, see if they like something else :)

    So true, I guess i'll just have to play with them.

    Ideally i'd like to find a setting that will create a various intensity back/forth movement on corals and polyps/algae. Yet not make any waves on the surface.

    When the tank matures a lil, I'll be wanting to add some pumping xenia. Figured it would look great if it swayed back and forth.
