    Default Vortech

    i am just wondering if there is anyone on here that can tell me what i am doing wrong with my pumps. i am trying to get a wave with the natural rocking motion but no luck. just wondering if any one can help. i have a 215 that is 72x24x30. so anyone with experience i would greatly listen to how to get a better pattern. right now they are running as master an slave and sitting on opposite ends of the tank.

    Check YouTube or Vortech's website; they have a video of how to do it I think.

    short pulse mode 100%,and count a second for every blue blink,for the speed of the pulse.
    put them on anti-synk
    then go to the other VT(slave) and do the same thing,but the anti-synk mode should know that you want it to pulse after the master.

    so if you synk them,they will pulse at the same time,and thats good if they are side by side,but if they are on opp sides then the anti will do what you want.

    if they are on the same side then do whats above but synk the master and tinker with the slave alittle and it will start to copy-cat the master.

    yeah dude but once you get them set up,they blow all those point and shoot PH's out the water.and another cool thing is that even if they power out,they have your setting in there memory,so you dont lose all that work you did.
