trying to understand 7094

[mmmmsushi]

I understand that there is:
-a setting that has both pumps on at the same time. Pulsing
-a setting that switches one channel to the other, and back.
-a sequential setting turning on pumps one, then one and two, then one two three, ect.

You can change the frequency or the duration of the interval of these periods through a switch and a dial.

If all this is correct (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong) than you would only need two power knobs. One for each of the channels.

I don't think I understand what all four do. I've read through the manual and I can't seem to get this.

By the way it's been connected to two 6000 streams in a 125 for the past two days and I'm very please with the flow. The fish are still getting used to it. :)

I'm a bonehead... I just read that the "b" power knob is the night time power. Do I have that right?

[rvitko]

Yes, the bottom is night mode but in pulsing it is pulsing back and forth between the top and bottom knobs and their are two channels so you can set up 2 pumps to run at one pulse and the other 2 at another, so two could do a 100%/50% pulse and two could do a 30%/80% pulse.

I originally thought that was what it was for. Thanks for your help Roger. If I were to set one up on 100%/50% and the other 50%/100%, it would result in a 100% from at least one all the time, right?

[rvitko]

Yes.

[mmmmsushi]

What would happen at night if you had the pulse set like this?

[rvitko]

One pump would be at 50% and the other at 100%. This isn't a bad thing. The flow at night shouldn't be too low or you get more pH drop and it is a close enough replicant of the calmer night seas, the pulsing stops.

Thanks Roger. You rock.
