Water Flow? (IceCap 2K Users)

[Arawk408]

I've been trying to find the right pattern to get a nice wave/sine flow with the Ice Cap 2K.. The default settings don't seem to be cutting it.

Anybody have Ice Cap 2K's and got a nice pattern going? Or should I Just dump these and buy another type of power head? (recommendations)

I've got 2 IceCap 4Ks that I run less than 50% power so like 2Ks and use same controller and software as 2Ks. I had to wipe my iPad last week, so my controllers should still be following whatever pattern my sofware configuration I tweaked. I hated initial setup of the IceCaps, so I haven't yet re-setup my iPad Hydros software and therefore unable to give you my configuration.

Perhaps you might share more details since every tank is going to be different as every size and aquascape and most goals are all different...

Funny as it might sound, but if you add a second Icecap 2K (don’t they run about $109), you might have more options; such as placing one high and one low, one horizontally and one vertically, or making wave patterns that collide.

I have 2 currently... Idk man I'm just not happy with them lol.. I feel like I wasted money on 2 w/the wifi controller because I have to run them so low? I want that nice "PULSE" flow but I can't seem to get it with these

Last night I made a new profile b/c I was trying to figure out how to get a nice pulse effect.. I went to bed and didn't mess with it any further but this is what my profile looks right now


My tank is a 75G (48' long) and my aquascape is just a back rock wall.. (thinking of buying some 24' arches and changing the scape a bit)

This would be my regular profile

I've also got a 4' LPS tank. I recently changed to the following profile and the all the corals seem to really like it.

I forgot to mention mine are on either side about 2 1/2" from the top pointing straight across the surface.
