So we finally got a couple wave makers to replace the generic power heads we've been using. Basically have one of these on each side of the tank, complete with controllers.

We have a 75G FOWLR, with one Duncan coral in the tank. Right now the wave makers are just set to 1 sec off, 1 sec on and kind of alternate back and forth (as well as they can alternate when they have individual controllers). One is at I think 75% power, the other is at 90%.

Any tips, tricks on like full 24 hour programming for these things or just kind of leave them as is right now?
 
You might try slowing the on& off period to around 4to 6 seconds and see how that works. I cycle mine around 6 seconds on, 6 seconds off and tuned down to a slow flow. Hope this helps. Good luck with your tank
