    Configuring three diff pumps

    On the left side I have a vortech mp60 and a tuner stream3. The right side has a maxspect gyre that is only connected to the eb8. I do not have the ice cap.

    Ideally I would like to produce a gyre affect alternating every six hours from left to right and vice versa.

    For my gyre I have:

    Fallback on
    Set on
    Osc 000:00/009:00/001:00
    If feedA 010 then off
    If time 12:00 to 18:00 then off
    If time 0:00 to 6:00 then off

    What would you have for the vortech and tunze? The opposite times?

    Almost perfect

    Fallback on
    Osc 000:00/009:00/001:00
    If feedA 010 then off
    If time 12:00 to 17:59 then off
    If time 00:00 to 05:59 then off

    For your other pumps, drop the intensity a bit when the gyre is ON and increase it a bit when it's off. I wouldn't turn either off completely so the transition is more fluid.

    You might also want to consider doing an extra 30 minutes on either side of the 6 hour window for the gyre and ramp up/down the mp60 during that window. This will create a moving point of confluence that will stir up detritus and make the transition smoother on the inhabitants.


    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    I’m going with this for now. I cleaned up my mp60 and it seems to be more than enough to create a gyre effect. I may not even need the tunze stream3.

    For now, this is what I have going on. I included some ramp up and down times. Thank you for your help! If you have any other suggestions please share! The first is my vortech, the second is the gyre.

    Hi Zombie,

    Can you check that gyre program I shared? It isn’t shutting down at the moment. It is supposed to shut off at 18:30 and it hasn’t done that yet.

    The code looks right.

    Did you remember to upload it after you changed it?

    Do you have two clocks in fusion? If so then your clock settings need to be adjusted.

    Does it turn on and off with manual ON and manual OFF?

    I uploaded it after changing the code.
    I have one clock in fusion.

    When you say turn on/off, do you mean from fusion? It turns off when I set it off.

    You remembered to put it in AUTO right?

    It is on auto. I made a change but I don’t see how it could mess things up.

    The OSC needs to be right after fallback. That's why it's not working. Your previous code showed the order correct, but not the latest one.

    That worked! Whatever Neptune is paying you isn’t enough.

    Here is my Tunze Stream 3 program. It is not turning on. Any idea where I’m going wrong?

    Is it between the OFF times you listed currently? If so that's why.

    If not, do you have two clocks in fusion? If so, your clock settings need adjustment

    If not above, does it respond to manual ON?

    It is not responding to manual on. (Assuming this means when I slide from “auto” to “on.” ). Before using the variable speed outlet it did work.

    I used the appropriate tunze stream line to a variable speed outlet. The tunze controller lit up for my variable speed 4outlet.

    I need to amend this. It does power up with manual on. It says it's at 100% but it barely moves. My clock settings are also fine and I tested it when it was On time.

    Make sure all connections are good and properly seated. That behavior sounds kinda like a loose connection.

    Everything connected and when I change the actual Tunze controller to pulse or wave, it works. I change the “set” statement to “on”.

    When I try to use the apex and my “stream3osc” profile it barely moves.
