I have a pair of MP40s in lagoon (purple) mode. Is there some way I can decrease the speed of the units? I realize I can do it in Constant Mode but is it possible in Lagoon Mode?
 
Maybe I am not understanding the question.....I believe the speeds are adjusted in all modes the same way, regardless of which mode you are using. You set the max speed (using Mobius or Reeflink/ecotechlive.com) and it never exceeds that number.
 
The devices are connected ... I can update them and Mobius doesn't complain. I had been using it without Mobius since it seemed to do whatever wants. So I detached from Mobius (months ago) and set up from the controller units -- but I still could not tweak the speed. All units have the latest firmware.

So tonight I reconnected the units to the app... and they still do whatever they want. I set the units up for Lagoon mode at first 13%, then 10 then 1% as a test. But on the Mobius main screen it still shows them as pushing at one-third power, 1581 gph. And the numbers flicker up and down, so it's actively connected. And they are certainly blowing at more than 1 or 10 or 13%.

As usual, I'm sure I'm the problem. I just can't seem to control the speed. And now Lagoon mode has gone from purple on the controllers to yellow.

Think part of the issue could be the modes don’t kick in at lower speeds, so you would just get a constant speed, you need to up the speeds to 30% or more before you will see the powerheads running the mode you set, at 13% it’s just too low for it to run through the powering up and down speeds.
