Maxspect Gyre OGC Program Thoughts

[Clueless_Reefer]

Hi everyone! I've been running XF350's for a few months now in my six-foot zone on opposing sides and would love to hear some feedback on others who are using this setup and implementing the OGC program. I put an image below of how I have mine setup and quite frankly I'm surprised that at night, after my lights go off, the OGC has programming to run rather high output on the blowers. Everything I've read is night cycles are supposed to be more calm. More interesting is when I wake up the next day, the hours before noon seem to be very docile with very little flow.

Thoughts? There doesn't seem to be one central thread for programming suggestions, just a couple scattered around...

My limited experience on real reefs is mornings are generally calm with more current as the day passes. In the evening/ sunset thing get there strongest. Then start to mellow. I have not been night diving so can't really comment on that. It also depends on tides. Tides can add significant flow twice a day on constantly changing schedules in some areas.

Fair point - I wish Maxspect would actually give a detailed look at their OGC program so people know what the heck its actually doing and when but I'm sure they consider it proprietary.
