    short pulse mode all the way dude...pretty much the only mode I like...just because I'm all about the wave. Use the auto wave mode feature to set the wave. Only problem with this mode is the wheeening sound. It goes like this...


    wraerrrr...wraerrrr...wraerrrr...wraerrrr...wraerr rr

    if you speed it up... it goes like this:

    wraer.wraer.wraer.wraer.wraer


    lol

    Nutrient Export mode is another good one for SPS lovers but I don't know, I like to see my over priced pumps at work and that can only be done by staring at the controller and it's nice flashy lights or by running the short pulse mode for the wave

    How crazy of a wave are yall getting on yours? I've seen product demos of the wave at 60% making water practically spill out of the tank. Any videos of a crazy wave you've gotten?

    I'll get one up on the 20g. I've rocked water out of the 150 with 2 40's.

    I saved a wave in mine using short pulse. The nutrient export more tweaked everything in my tank so I quit using it.

    Anyone used these on a half circle tank? Kinda tricky to make waves if they don't have a flat surface to bounce off of...I would think anyway.

    I do the same, my MP10 runs at about 50% in nutrient extract mode and I can't hear it. When it does start to make a bit of noise a quick vinegar bath usually clears it up.

    I had a mp10 on a 30 gallon corner pentagon shaped tank and it did well creating a wave with all of those weird angles so it should do fine on a curved tank
