Dumb but necessary GYRE question

[Hot2na]

I'm trying to figure out how to do a back and forth wave maker option with the gyre's.. I want ONE side to go for 30 seconds at one speed...then shut off then the other side to go for 30 seconds at the same speed , then shut off...and keep alternating back and forth like that full time .... HOW DO I ACCOMPLISH this ??? TIA .

What pumps are you using?

Depending on your gyre manufacturer and controller, easiest way is to use a dual controller and the "alternating gyre" mode. It has settings for power level and duration for each pump.
You might be able to use an after market controller such as a HYDROS, but I'm not familiar with their programming.
HTH.

Did you get your gyres figured out? What controller did you use?

30 seconds is too long set them no longer than 5 seconds to get a wave/swell type motion.
