OH YEAH, My husband just said...."if we got one for the other side, we can get rid of the PH's and get another anemone" HAHA
I told him I am going to get another one, BUT maybe I should wait a little while (snicker snicker)

if you get another one, i would run one on reef crest and do the other on on short pulse. right now i would run 80% reef crest

no need for night mode imo, the ocean currents dont slow down at night, if anything they become more turbulent

You can set it to night mode at night to save power.

And just how do you do these things???? The books tells you next to nothing.....and the web book is 44 pages long.
I will read it more in depth today......I had no clue there were so many settings

OK...I think I may have it in reef crest mode
the dial is yellow....the first 2 leds are light....and the others light up as the speed changes
is this right????

You'll have to guide me on how to use mine when I get them.

I can tell you this so far....The book is only good for the quick set up...BUT Follow the alignment instructions carefully....and be sure you know where you want the sticky plug holder thing on your tank....cause once it is on...IT AINT MOVING

make sure you use the tieraps to hold the dry side up if power goes off.Also try the lagoon mode I find this works best for me,but I mix it up 1 week a month

I would do about 80% and see if that works.
I run my two together anywhere from 65-75 in my tank when on reef crest mode.
Did you play with the wave mode? It's so cool, but really doesn't help the tank from what I've found, I just like watching it.

NO I have not tried it yet......I'm still trying to figure out how this thing gets all the spots it's supposed to get when it isn't directional
