Here is how I have my right pump:

Will that even work when I have the left set at Constant NN%? What is the inverse of Constant? And if I want the pumps to both shut down between midnight and 6am, how does the 100% Inverse work with that? I don't want one pump off and the other running at 100%
Remove the constant point both at the beginning and at the end of the schedule and set Malibu 0 % at the beginning and Mavericks 0% at the end , and set the slave as Jon had show you and all will work perfectly ,

Ok. Removed the start and end points for both pumps. They now start at 4 and stop at 10, ramping up and down and going back and forth between malibu and mavericks. The right pump also starts at 4 and stops at 10, but shows 100% Inverse for the entire time.
We'll see how that does.
Thanks for the input guys!!!
Keep us posted and even tho you have 100% inverse on the right pump just like I have when you look at the percentage of the WAV pump it will change percentages like mine below...

Well also, there was a robust set of products out there to use as benchmarks for product design / development.
I remember when I got my first Tunze Stream 6000s and then 6100s. There was nothing that could replicate the flow and control at that time. I loved my 6105s (circa 2008), but Tunze has not moved the bar since the second generation streams. My 6105s were aging....I am an Aquacontroller guy from way back, so I went with the WAVs. I hope they hold up over time and I will be interested to see Tunze's next powerheads....
I have mine on the rear upper side corners directed to the opposite corners of the glass tank

Mine now at 3% is a Flo of 3.9.....my combined Flo ranges from 5.5 - 6.3
So don't worry trying to figure out the algorithm that Neptune came up with to come up with Flo values...
I have a 36" 65g tank

At MACNA, We had one on the back wall pointing at the side glass, and we also had one on the back wall pointed across the the center of the tank at an angle.
My two cents: I have a 75g and these pumps are way powerful. I am running a power level of 1% and pipeline (5 seconds on/off). Its producing a very powerful surge. IMHO these pumps would be way more useful if the minimum value for rpm was down around 300. I do not want and should not have to adjust where the pump is aimed (front wall etc..) I should be able to adjust the flow as I want it to be. I have not added my second pump in the tank. Yes these are really cool, yes I will figure out how to integrate them in my tank even with their way insane flow rate. BUT they would be even cooler and far more useful if their minimum flow rate could be significantly reduced.
Also it would be nice to have a wave type/pattern type that permitted two variables. One for the amount of time the wave is on and one for the amount of time the pump is off. As in On for 5 seconds and off for 15. To give my tank a rest period I am currently also using the advanced section to add in on and off times for the pump (yes I could do this in the graph but its simpler and cleaner in the advanced section). So its off for every other other hour (and when I am feeding).
Finally, my Tyree Leather seems to love the surge. Its open about 50% more than I have ever seen it before. Could be coincidence.

Re: Inverse of Constant
I have the left as the Master and the right as Inverse via a Set <Profile>
If I set the left at Constant n% then the right pump goes to Constant (100-n)%, i.e. left at 5% right at 95%. I haven't been running Inverse in awhile but I wanted to check this out.
So, careful if you run Master/Slave with Slave as Inverse and you have a Constant Mode in your Master.

I made the same mistake thinking about inverse. I was thinking inverse of the pattern not intensity. The way it works if you have one pump at 100% inverse it will always be at 100%-whatever the other pump is set to. If the other pump is set to 10%, then the inverse pump will be running at 90%. I switched my second pump over to mirror 100% so it follows the intensity and pattern of the other pump.
If you set the Slave to Mirror 100% on the Master Constant set at 20%, then (I think) you get 20% on the Master and 20% on the Slave.
However, if you set the Slave to Inverse 100% on the Master Constant set at 20%, then you get 20% on the Master and 80% on the Slave.
The Help seems to not quite say that:
Mirror This mode causes the pump to be synchronized with and operate in the same mode as another WAV pump. If you use 100% for the intensity, the WAV will do exactly the same pattern as the Reference pump. However, you may choose an intensity value less than 100%, which will cause the WAV to operate the same as the Reference pump, but the operation of the WAV will be proportionally scaled at a reduced intensity.
I'm probably just confused (as usual) and it's imminently clear to everyone else!
Inverse Similar to Mirror, except that the WAV will do the opposite of the Reference pump pattern.

You have it right. The wording on the inverse definition is just ambiguous. It would be nice if there was an inverse mode that matched the intensity, but reversed the pattern. For example if you had the master set to 20% constant, the slave would be 20% constant. If you had it in a variable mode that ranged from 20%-40%, then the slave would stay in the same range, but on the opposite pattern.
As it works now, if the pattern ranges from 20%-40%, then the inverse set slave would be running from 80%-60%.
False , the INVERSE mode is just " INVERSE " . That mean that the slave pump will run the EXACT same pattern as the master , but the intensity of the slave is opposite the intensity of the master . When one is high the other is low and vice-versa . Also setting the INVERSE at 100 % will only make the slave to reflect the intensity of the master : EX : If the master is set at 50 % max , the slave will also run at 50 % max > 100% X 50 % = 50 % . However if the INVERSE is set at 50 % then 50 % X 50 % = 25 % .
Just think as sync and anti-sync with Vortech .
Alain
Then mine is working wrong or we are explaining it differently. The inverse set slave pump set at 100% runs at 100%-n where N is the intensity of the master. If constant is set to 18, inverse runs at 82. If I am in a pattern that ranges from 10-20 the inverse runs at 80-90 on the opposite pattern (master at 15 means slave at 85 and so on).
