Tunze 6105 placement

jharding08 · 02/28/2014, 01:48 PM

I was wondering what would be the best placement and programming for my two Tunze 6105's with my current aquascaping. Just three pillars in the middle of the tank:

Where you have them is fine but I would aim them across in an x to hit the front 2/3 away. What controller are you using?

Got an Apex.

Here is my current programming (borrowed, not original)

LeftTunze
Set Wave1
If Time 10:30 to 11:59 Then duskdawn
If Time 12:00 to 19:00 Then Wave1
If Time 19:01 to 20:00 Then duskdawn
If Time 20:01 to 10:29 Then Night
If Outlet Timer1 = ON Then Lt_Flush
If Outlet Timer2 = ON Then duskdawn
If Outlet Timer3 = ON Then Wave2
If FeedA 000 Then Feed
If FeedC 000 Then OFF
If FeedD 00 Then Feed

RgtTunze

If Time 19:01 to 20:00 Then duskdawn
If Time 20:01 to 10:29 Then Night
If Outlet Timer1 = ON Then Rt_Flush
If Outlet Timer2 = ON Then duskdawn
If Outlet Timer3 = ON Then Wave2
If FeedA 000 Then Feed
If FeedC 000 Then OFF
If FeedD 00 Then Feed

Wave1
Synchronize Enabled
Divide by 10 Enabled
Initial off time (Seconds) 0
On time (Seconds) 7
Off time (Seconds) 4
Minimum intensity 0
Maximum intensity 100

Wave2
Synchronize Disabled
Divide by 10 Enabled
Initial off time (Seconds) 0
On time (Seconds) 7
Off time (Seconds) 4
Minimum intensity 0
Maximum intensity 100

Lt_Flush
Synchronize Disabled
Divide by 10 Disabled
Initial off time (Seconds) 0
On time (Seconds) 30
Off time (Seconds) 30
Minimum intensity 0
Maximum intensity 90

Rt_Flush
Synchronize Disabled
Divide by 10 Disabled
Initial off time (Seconds) 30
On time (Seconds) 30
Off time (Seconds) 30

Maximum intensity 90

DuskDawn

Divide by 10 Enabled
Initial off time (Seconds) 0
On time (Seconds) 7
Off time (Seconds) 4
Minimum intensity 0
Maximum intensity 30 60

Night
Synchronize Disabled
Divide by 10 Disabled
Initial off time (Seconds) 0
On time (Seconds) 10
Off time (Seconds) 15
Minimum intensity 30
Maximum intensity 30

Timer1
OSC 120:00/010:00/000:00 Then ON
If Outlet Timer2 = ON Then OFF
If Time 19:30 to 11:30 Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedB 000 Then OFF
If FeedC 000 Then OFF

Timer2
OSC 045:00/015:00/000:00 Then ON
If Outlet Timer3 = ON Then OFF
If Time 19:30 to 11:30 Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedB000 Then OFF
If FeedC 000 Then OFF

Timer3
OSC 015:00/005:00/000:00 Then ON
If Outlet Timer1 = ON Then OFF
If Time 19:30 to 11:30 Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedB000 Then OFF
If FeedC 000 Then OFF

Having never used an Apex, I wouldn't really be able to decipher that.

What I would generally recommend is something like our Interval 2, one pump idles at 30%, the other pulses every 3 secs from 30%-100% after 6 hours they switch. At night they lock in so one is at 30% and the other is at 100% or 30% as you feel is best and their is no more pulsing or change until light returns.
