The graph below shows a sample of what Reefcrest and Lagoon Mode speeds might look like. Lagoon Mode simulates this environment by automatically changing the speed of your pump slowly. A lagoon is protected from the high energy of large waves and therefore the corals that come from this zone are used to slower, more gentle currents than those found in a Reefcrest environment. Lagoon Random Mode mimics the low-energy reef zone such as that found in a lagoon. You will notice that at some times the pump runs at higher speeds than at others. After the maximum speed representation disappears, the LED strip will represent what speed the pump is currently operating at within the Reefcrest Mode cycle. This will be shown visually on the LED strip for three seconds. Reefcrest Mode simulates this environment by automatically changing the speed of your pump frequently and drastically.Īdjusting the knob will change the maximum speed that the pump operates at while in Reefcrest Mode. In this zone of the coral reef, the waves crash down upon the reef providing frequent surges in flow. Reefcrest Random Mode mimics a high-energy reef zone such as that found on the Reefcrest of a natural coral reef. The speed of these modes will be indicated by dim LED light. The specific Random mode you are in will be indicated by a pair of two blue LED lights brightly illuminated. Then press set to switch between Reefcrest Random and Lagoonal Random. To navigate to each of these modes, press mode until the control dial turns yellow. These random modes are used to simulate natural reef environments. Random mode operates in two different settings, Lagoonal and Reefcrest. The speed will be indicated by the blue LED light strip. You can then adjust the speed of the mode using the control dial. To navigate to the mode, press the mode button until the control dial turns green. When you change speed, the speed of the pump will be represented by the LED bar. When in constant speed mode, slave pumps will only sync with the master pump, there is no anti-sync. In Constant Speed Mode (indicated by a green LED on the knob) the pump runs continuously at a constant speed which can be set by the user. Phase two, or the nutrient transport phase, begins a flushing cycle to export nutrients and debris in the water column which can then be captured by your protein skimmer or other filtration equipment, effectively removing it from the aquarium and increasing the overall health of your tank. The pulsing serves to raise debris and detritus from the bottom of the tank and behind the rock work, where it will then be migrated out from the water column and into your overflow during phase two. If you have already tuned a waveform into your VorTech controller by using the auto-tune function in Short Pulse Mode, this saved resonant wave will automatically be used during phase one of this mode. Phase one, or the wave phase, consists of the pumps pulsing at an expanding frequency so as to achieve a resonant wave in any aquarium at some point in the pulse cycle.
This mode is represented in the image below: The third and fourth LEDs will indicate which EcoSmart mode you are in.
#MP40 WAVEMAKER DRIVER#
In this mode, your EcoSmart master driver will be purple and your slave driver will flash white/orange/teal and indicate its speed using the LED strip. In this EcoSmart mode, water is circulated in a two-phase program to promote maximum health and nutrient export, as well as increased growth for sensitive corals such as SPS. This mode would be great for ultra high energy reef tanks, such as those that an SPS keeper seeks to create, and is represented visually below: The first two LEDs will indicate which EcoSmart mode you are in.
This EcoSmart mode is used to create a harmonic balance in your aquarium reminiscent of the changing flow conditions that would be found in nature. Below is more information on each mode as well as detailed diagrams to help you better understand which would work best for you: Every aquarium is different, and our modes are designed for a wide variety of applications.
