    Well, I broke down and bought an MP40 for my 90 gallon reef. I'm replacing two 1025gph and one 750gph Koralia's which are only months old :(

    So I was playing around all night, I really like Reefcrest but I'm not sure about Lagoon mode, its seems to just run at a constant speed.

    Also trying to figure out the night mode, once its set does it tun on automatically or do I turn it on manually every night

    Whats everyones favorite settings?

    ;D

    Reefcrest. I think it's safe to say that's about a 90% favorite. Probably the worst one for the motor though because of the constant revving up and powering down.

    on the new ES ones i really like the nutrient transport mode and the other ES mode. i think its called tidal swell or something like that?
    on my other tank i run short pulse and have some legit waves going on in my tank ;)
