In the process of setting up my display refugium. It's a custom 72x12x12 acrylic. I'm placing it in a header configuration so it drains into the DT. It is being fed by a separate return pump(Vectra M1).

I ended up going with the Current loop system for the display fuge tank. Cheaper and less cords to deal with coming down from the shelf that the tank is going on.

I'm looking at three of the 6004 660GPH eflux wave pumps. I have notches in the eurobrace roughly at the 1/4 and 1/2 distance. Curious what thoughts people might have on the orientation that might be best. FYI the return is split from 3/4 to dual 1/2 loc line and I'm using 1/2 VGA nozzles.

If I've read the info correctly the eflux loop controller will only actually do modes for two of the pumps. The third you can set flow on but nothing else. I was thinking of putting the "dumb" pump near the center pointed almost straight ahead(maybe a little angle to it) and the programmable one on either end at the 1/4 distance on the back wall angled toward each other and set in some sort of alternating or interference mode.

Thoughts?
 
I have the eflux wave pumps on my 90. Unless they have changed their system, the way I understood it was that 2 of the 3 pumps are "slaved" together to perform the same command.

Essentially yes, but I thought when I was playing with the program there was an opposing mode choice, but I could be mistaken.
