What does everyone do with their powerheads at night?

[Wildman]

Do you run them full on all the time? Do you throttle them back or cut them completely off? Would also like to hear your reasoning.

I have my mp10 on Reef crest 24-7 it ramps up a down the whole time. I think the ocean has flow cycles as well but never has no flow so I always leave it on.

I read mine a bedtime story

Just kidding, I leave mine at the same setting 24 hours.

Two mp 40's controlled by apex at night it goes into night mode and run at about 50% in sync mode durning the day the run through different settings at max 90%. I try to give the tank a more relax flow at night so that my fishes don't get blasted with flow when they are sleeping.

I guess that is the more relevant question. How much does the ocean change at night?

I have two WP25s. I use the else setting and have them restricted with variable power supplies. They are supposed to cut back to 50% in night mode but the sensors don't work very well so I took them out. I was thinking about turning them off at night. I would still have flow from the return pump.

I run mine in night mode at 30%.

[Esage]

I run mine in night mode at 30%

 

[billyhalloween]

Full 100% of the time... Except for water change and feeding time.

 

[Dragonreef202]

I run my 24/7 non stop. The fishes find places to rest in between rocks.
