    Programming 2x Tunze 6105 in Fusion

    I've purchased a new apex along with two tunze 6105s and the cable to control them. I was looking to program them to do something along the line of reefcrest mode with vortech. or even have one at 80% for a half hour with the other at 20% then switch every 30 mins or so. Any ideas? suggestions? I've done some online searching but can't figure it out...I dont even know where to start. Thanks in advance.

    The best way to simulate pseudo random modes like reefcrest is to start with a baseline intensity using the wizard and then use VOs with combinations of OSC, if time, etc to trigger a few different profiles that will override the wizard.

    Ex

    DayOSC1
    OSC 000:00/001:23/010:00 Then ON
    If Time 22:00 to 12:00 Then OFF

    DayOSC1
    OSC 000:00/003:23/040:00 Then ON
    If Time 22:00 to 12:00 Then OFF

    NightOSC1
    OSC 000:00/002:21/010:00 Then ON
    If Time 12:00 to 22:00 Then OFF

    NightOSC1
    OSC 000:00/004:23/040:00 Then ON
    If Time 12:00 to 22:00 Then OFF

    RandOSC1
    OSC 000:00/003:57/030:00 Then ON



    Tunze
    (Wizard code)
    If Output RandOSC = ON Then flush
    If Output DayOSC1 = ON Then Dwave1
    If Output DayOSC2 = ON Then Dwave2
    If Output NightOSC1 = ON Then Nwave1
    If Output NightOSC2 = ON Then Nwave2

    clarify on the VO's portion of this thread please.

    Highlighted in Red Below , what programming goes into each one of these Vo's ?

    intensity of propeller power?
    or
    how long the propeller in the tunze stays on for ?

    happy new years !

    What you highlighted in red are profiles. Set them however you like, but pump type would be your best bet. Exactly what to use within the profile depends on your personal preference and tank needs.

    in the case mentioned above , the profiles in red , are the types of random waves . im assuming i could create DWave1 to be 80% power , then Dwave2 to be 40% power. then OSC both profiles between them every 3 minutes of each other . this should create the wave effect if desired ?

    do you have a screenshot or example of what your profiles look like for each highlighted in red ?

    i have 4 tunze powerheads in my 180g . i have a wave profile in use now , but its over 1 year old , im looking to make changes to the wave programming , along with adding a new profile for sleeptime profile ( so the flow is low power at night )

    thanks for the quick reply @zombie.

    Here are a couple examples that I use as overrides for my jebaos on my observational QT tank. You can make them somewhat at random, but of course anything activated during the day only would tend to be higher intensities, and those only at night tend to be lower intensities. The whole point of all of these is to mix up the flow somewhat randomly to add some turbulence to your baseline levels of the wizard.
