Anyone know what settings to use to create a wave motion? I've go 2 Nero 3 pumps on the same side and have tried to pulse mode but can't seem to get a gentle rocking back n forth motion? Thanks!!!
 
I have. I run a euphyllia only tank and have just stuck with random mode but want a total back n forth wave for the tanks entirety. I think it has to with the phasing of the 2 pumps??? I guess what I need it someone's schedule for an lps dominate tank!
 
I only have one Nero 5 and it does create waves so it very may have to do with the phasing. Didn’t they sync up as parent and child when you set them up
 
They do sync. How do u have urs set to create a wave?
 
180° is the phase you want if you want one off while one is on, and you might have to adjust the time until you get some "resonance".
 
Do u still want that phase if they are on the same side or if they are on opposite sides of the tank?
 
What settings do you use for a wave?

I see the pulse mode, but a second on/second off isn’t creating a wave.

Any help would be appreciated.

I’d get a Tunze wave box but I don’t have sufficient space.
 
I think you need two in an anti-sync type of mode to get a wave on these. To be candid, I’ve had a couple vortechs (not at the same time) and I’ve never really been able to achieve a wave. The only time I’ve pulled it off is with a Tunze wavebox, which requires some amount of space.
 
I did anti sync, sync at 90 and every which way possible...like legit spent 4 hours messing with it. Now I just have a total of 5 pumps moving stuff all which ways.
