hmm so the timners don't go long enough for a natural tidal cycle. would nee up to about 21600 seconds to get to six hour mark, but 2.7 hour cycle would probably be fine.

damn you.. I was going to hold off a year or two befor I start building my next set up now you got me thinking

I'm sure if you wanted 6 hrs it could be accomplished easily, you could likely invest in a small PLC and get someone to program it to run for 6 and a half hour cycle which would repeat, that way the high and low tides would change daily just like in the natural world.
