  Help Needed Setting UP WM4 Wavemakers

  Posted: September 1st, 2010, 8:21pm CDT by Thinus

  Hi Guys,
  
  Busy setting up a new system
  
  I Have a display tank 1000x600x600 (Around 330 Litres)
  
  I Have 2 x BOYU WM4 Wave makers rated for tanks 100 to 500 litres
  
  Each controller controls 2 pumps (Pump A and pump B)
  Each controller has Feed button that stops system for 10 Minutes
  
  Each pump has flux adjustment (power I assume 30% to 100% Marked)
  WAVE A and WAVE B
  
  Each pump has time adjustment (5 seconds to 3 minutes)
  TIME A and TIME B
  
  The system has DAYTIME AND NIGHTIME setting
  
  DAYTIME
  
  A works (5seconds to 3 Minutes adjustable)
  STOPS 1 second
  B works (5seconds to 3 Minutes adjustable)
  STOPS 1 second
  AND THEN LOOPS
  
  NIGHTIME
  
  A works (5seconds to 3 Minutes adjustable)
  STOPS 3 Minutes
  B works (5seconds to 3 Minutes adjustable)
  STOPS 3 Minutes
  AND THEN LOOPS
  
  Now the questions
  
  A) Will this be good enough for the tanks internal circulation or do I need to add more pumps running permanently
  
  B) Where should the 4 pumps be placed and what time and power setting should each one use for optimum random flow.
  
  Thanks in advance
