Where do you have it positioned in the tank? I personally like the random flow mode and incremental increase/decrease pulse modes.

Left and right side walls centered flow faced alittle upwards
I’m pretty new with this model do you have pump A on one setting and B on other?

If you can sync them, I'd set them to run counter to one another. I'd also recommend placing them near the top of the water's surface, that way they are creating plenty of surface agitation, and the gyre motion will more gently move the water lower in the water column. This also jives with most light-loving corals being placed up top, such as SPS, which will appreciate the more intense flow up top.

I don't have experience with syncing maxspect gyres, but if there is an app to control them, there should be a way. Otherwise just set them both on random mode.

There is an app (SynaG), but only works with ICV6 controller ($100 add-on ) LOL

See how the random/pulse works for your corals. I'm a fan of automation to an extent, but in a case like this you might just be spending for the sake of spending with no positive change.

I run 2 different budget gyres on my frag tank with manual controllers, and everything in my frag tank is happier than my display which has 2 anti-synced gyres and 2 anti-synced vortech mp40s...

there is a Y cable also, for connecting two gyres to one controller to sync
