FarmerTy Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 thats an expensive towel holder! but great use of a standby/redundant sump!Told you, I'm a realist. That bad boy isn't going to be touched until Summer probably. [emoji22] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishShrink Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I just got one of the Jebao PP-15 wavemakers for my tank and I agree that sucker moves a lot of water! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 I just got one of the Jebao PP-15 wavemakers for my tank and I agree that sucker moves a lot of water! Just keep them clean. They tend to slow down a ton when dirty unlike my MP60s which generally don't get hampered too much. Otherwise, I'm a big fan of their price/quality of flow you get with them.Hope it up to your Apex and you can customize programming. If you ever do that, hit me up as I got a doozy of a program to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 Ty! “I got a doozy of a program to use” Will you post it here so I can copy it. Thanks Its a doozy! And I warn you, no tech support Tom. I did this like 4 years ago and everything left my brain! [emoji13]Quick summary of my Apex programming for my Jaebos.Variable Dimming port programs (both left and right) and 3 timer programs are all outlet configurations. You'll need to setup virtual outlets for Timer 1-3 to program them. You can delete all the other virtual outlets that are created as they are not needed. You will need to do this with the normal control panel, not ApexFusion. The Timer outlet programs are a way to somewhat randomize programs through the day between specific times so your tank is always switching between the 3 Timer programs over the default set background program. For instance, from 15:00-23:59, my Apex will be running Lt_Flush and Rt_Flush as my default background and then throughout the day, Timer 1-3 will turn on and run one of the three other programs (Dblflush, Pulse, or Wave2) during that time to mix it up a little.But before you can even program any of the outlets, you'll need to create the profiles below as Apex will not accept programming outlets with profile names that don't exist yet. Kind of the chicken before the egg thing so just program your profiles first.Variable Dimming Port program (Left Jaebo)Set Wave1If Time 11:30 to 14:59 Then DuskDawnIf Time 15:00 to 23:59 Then Lt_FlushIf Time 00:00 to 02:29 Then DuskDawnIf Time 02:30 to 11:29 Then NightIf Outlet Timer1 = ON Then DblFlushIf Outlet Timer2 = ON Then PulseIf Outlet Timer3 = ON Then Wave2If FeedA 000 Then OFFVariable Dimming Port program (Right Jaebo)Set Wave1If Time 11:30 to 14:59 Then DuskDawnIf Time 15:00 to 23:59 Then Rt_FlushIf Time 00:00 to 02:29 Then DuskDawnIf Time 02:30 to 11:29 Then NightIf Outlet Timer1 = ON Then DblFlushIf Outlet Timer2 = ON Then PulseIf Outlet Timer3 = ON Then Wave2If FeedA 000 Then OFFTimer 1 (Virtual Outlet)OSC 120:00/010:00/000:00 Then ONIf Outlet Timer2 = ON Then OFFIf Time 00:00 to 15:00 Then OFFIf FeedA 000 Then OFFTimer 2 (Virtual Outlet)OSC 045:00/015:00/000:00 Then ONIf Outlet Timer3 = ON Then OFFIf Time 00:00 to 15:00 Then OFFIf FeedA 000 Then OFFTimer 3 (Virtual Outlet)OSC 015:00/005:00/000:00 Then ONIf Outlet Timer1 = ON Then OFFIf Time 00:00 to 15:00 Then OFFIf FeedA 000 Then OFFProfilesWave1Synchronize - yesDivide by 10 - yesInitial Off Time - 0On Time - 9Off Time - 3Min Intensity - 30Max Intensity - 70Wave2Synchronize - noDivide by 10 - yesInitial Off Time - 0On Time - 7Off Time - 4Min Intensity - 30Max Intensity - 80Lt_FlushSynchronize - noDivide by 10 - noInitial Off Time - 0On Time - 120Off Time - 120Min Intensity - 0Max Intensity - 100Rt_FlushSynchronize - noDivide by 10 - noInitial Off Time - 120On Time - 120Off Time - 120Min Intensity - 0Max Intensity - 100DuskDawnSynchronize - yesDivide by 10 - yesInitial Off Time - 0On Time - 7Off Time - 4Min Intensity - 30Max Intensity - 60NightSynchronize - noDivide by 10 - noInitial Off Time - 0On Time - 10Off Time - 10Min Intensity - 0Max Intensity - 30DblFlushSynchronize - noDivide by 10 - noInitial Off Time - 0On Time - 60Off Time - 60Min Intensity - 0Max Intensity - 100PulseSynchronize - yesDivide by 10 - noInitial Off Time - 0On Time - 10Off Time - 10Min Intensity - 0Max Intensity - 100Summary of my profiles:Wave1 is a non-coordinated, smashing of both pumps. It's not synced and just random pulses.Wave 2 is a coordinated 2-3" (vertical height) wave motion in my tank, similar to my old Tunze nano wavebox.LtFlush is my left pump blowing at 100% for 2 minutes (alternates with RtFlush for total tank gyre flows that reverse direction...we can call this my Maspect Gyre mode)RtFlush is my right pump blowing at 100% for 2 minutesDblFlush should really be called export mode... as it's my Lt Flush and Rt Flush crashing into each other and stirring everything up.DuskDawn is a very low energy wave mode to ramp things downNight is low intensity 10 second bursts followed by 10 seconds of stillnessPulse mode is high energy 10 second bursts followed by 10 seconds of stillness... I wanted to replicate the swells of waves going over a reef.Disclaimer, I'm not a programmer in any sense of the word but I'm quite proficient at borrowing code from others and fitting it to my needs.

Isaac Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 how about just a screenshot or two to simplify things? the initial/on/off all depend on the size of your tank and location of your powerheads. Ty changes his wave-type by changing the on/off delays. I just change the intensity the "synchronize" offsets the two powerheads so they alternate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was that because of old age... I forget. [emoji22]No lingering effects that I know of honestly. Its not all zoas, just avoid palys would be my suggestion.I can't remember how long ago but probably about 2 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a look at it the other day and saw it looking back at me. I actually kept the bashsea t-shirt that came with it. Ahh I feel so much better now not holding on to that secret anymore 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
