What Vortech Mode Do You Run?

[NicksMixedReef]

Curious to see what people run now a days! I know things haven't really changed in the programs except the customization aspect, but let's see some of your schedules!

I run reef crest 24/7 synced with each other at 80% with two MP40s. I also run a mixed reef tank, be sure to let us know your tank too!

Your turn

Mp40 on reef crest 24/7 at 75%

 

[kschweer]

I usually run my mp-10 in nutrient transport mode @100% in my 57 rimless. I switch it up every once in a while and run reef crest @100% as well.

 

[hybridazn]

2x mp40 short pulse 70% anti sync 1pm-1am

Constant 25% 1am-9am

Nutrient export mode 9am-1pm

 

[bobbychullo]

Reefcrest
Synced
MP40 + MP10

low power, like 10%-20%. great flow.

 

[cginter]

2x mp40 short pulse 70% anti sync 1pm-1am

Constant 25% 1am-9am

Nutrient export mode 9am-1pm

Are you using apex to run yours like that?

 

[cginter]

2 mp40QD. Nutrient transport mode 70-80% synced. 180g mixed reef.

 

[Reduck]

2 MP10wesqd running in anti sync: constant 25% 12-6am, reef crest ramps from 25% to 70% 6am-3pm, back down to 60% constant 3pm-6pm, system pauses at feedimg time till 6:15pm, nutrient transport mode till 7pm, then constant 50% till midnight..
40g mixed reef. Pumps offset front to back.creating a nice gyre effect.
Controlled by Apex.

Get yourself a Reeflink, I configured the Reeflink and 2 mp60, 1 mp40 to run Constant, Reef Crest, Lagoon, NTM, Tidal Swell and Short Pause.

Yes I do.

i might have to, I heard the Apex will not communicate with the Quiet Drive Vortechs. Is this true?

 

[RandoReefer]

Two MP40 ES on the 125g @ Short Pulse (.9sec Synch/Antisynch) for most of the day. Constant @ 75% for nighttime.

Two MP10 ES on 60% Lagoon all day on the 40g frag.

One MP40 QD on 50% ReefCrest all day on the 50gal rimless frag tank.

That is not true. If you read my post, I'm controlling two qds. Been so since day one...

On my 90G SPS tank I have 2 Mp40 on the walls opposite of each other and an Mp10 on the back wall. One of the 40's is the master, and the other a slave in sync mode. the Mp10 on the back wall stays in anti-sync at 75%

i run my main Mp40 on this program throughout the day
The "Night mode" is actually set to lagoon at 25% max power
the "tom lunch" is constant mode at 100% so that once the feed modes ends, all pumps kick up to constant 100% for 1 minute to get any left over food moving, and then it kicks into NTM.

I also run pretty much the same program on my 70Cube Mixed Reef but it only has 2 MP10's on it

Sweet! good to know, thank you!

 

[bayoupr]

MP40QD, 4' 120g tank. Reefcrest 14hrs, 60%. Constant 10hrs, 25% (my night mode). MP40QD is on the right side of my tank. I have a Gyre 130 on the other side of the tank (Probably will replace with another MPQD)

 

[swk]

I use an old mp40 on my 75 gal sps tank.

Lagoon mode at 80% 24/7

On the opposite side of the tank I have a gyre 150 running pulse mode about 60% or so.

I know this is a old thread. I just found that CoralLab program. I’m going to try it out
2 mp 40s
12-4 one on constant 60% the other reefcrest 30%
4-8 exact opposite
8-10:30 tidal swell 70% (full smart mode is 2.5 hours btw)
10:30-2:30 one on constant 60% the other reefcrest 70%
2:30-6:30 exact opposite
6:30-9 nutrient transport 70% also 2.5 hours full program
9-12 one on constant 50% the other reef crest 50%

 

[Jon Fishman]

Mine is so random.... 6 MP40’s, I run one on constant 60% or so (because it doesn’t have a wifi chip) and run 5 others on lagoon, reefcrest, constant, and pulse....... all independent of each other, at different modes at different times, and anywhere from 15-80%

Edit. oops. You are right, this is an old thread!
