I guess you don't get too much coralline growth in "shelf mode" eh?

Since upgrading the drivers to the Ecosmart models, I run my two in TSM with the slave in anti-synch. I also use night mode now with two pumps. When I only had one, I didn't use night mode since I didn't think the flow would be sufficient. With two, there's no problem.... except the fact that the night mode start time needs to be adjusted once in a while due to the issue with the delay every day. I really hoped that EcoTech had solved that issue with the new drivers, they better come up with a fix for that soon, or lose some credibility.

What kind of timing do you have? I re-adjusted mine to this now, and notice quite abit more turbulance. Are you creating an actual wave?

Currently I have mine in Short pulse mode (blue light) in sync mode and about 3/4 second intervals.

I used to have 2 of them and ended up selling one, so now I have 1 and its on short mode, about 3/4's speed and 3/4's timing and i get a huge wave
