Anybody have Tunze PH's programmed through their Apex?

I have mine setup through VDM. I started out with some code from a thread on Reef Central and played with it until it suited my needs. It took a fair amount of trial and error to find a flow that worked for me. I could probably stand to revisit some of the random flows. A bit about the system this is on a 180 gallon reef mostly SPS really need to get some new photos up. I am not 100% sure on the model number but I think they are Turbelle 6105's one on each long end of the aquarium.

The basic idea is to setup different flows using profiles one as your main type of flow then a few others to randomize flow during the day. Then use timers to trigger changing the profiles. Below is what I have feel free to hit me up if you have any questions by no means an expert but happy to help I remember it being a bit of a PIA setting it up. biggest problem being the pumps are so powerful.

Here is all the configuration associated with the pumps. as a side note there might be an easier way to do this with the new software.

Outlet left tunze
Set Lt_Flush
If Time 09:00 to 10:00 Then DuskDawnR
If Time 10:01 to 20:29 Then Lt_Flush
If Time 20:30 to 21:00 Then DuskDawnR
If Time 21:01 to 08:59 Then Night
If Outlet Timer1 = ON Then Wave2
If Outlet Timer2 = ON Then Wave1L
If Outlet Timer3 = ON Then Wave3L
If Outlet FeedStart = ON Then OFF
If Outlet TunzeDelay = ON Then feed_left
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedB 000 Then OFF


Outlet right tunze
Set Rt_Flush
If Time 09:00 to 10:00 Then DuskDawnR
If Time 10:01 to 20:29 Then Rt_Flush
If Time 20:30 to 21:00 Then DuskDawnR
If Time 21:01 to 08:59 Then Night
If Outlet Timer1 = ON Then Wave2
If Outlet Timer2 = ON Then Wave1R
If Outlet Timer3 = ON Then Wave3R
If FeedA 000 Then OFF
If FeedB 000 Then OFF

Outlet Timer1
OSC 120:00/010:00/000:00 Then ON
If Time 20:30 to 10:00 Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF

Outlet Timer2
OSC 065:00/005:00/000:00 Then ON
If Outlet Timer1 = ON Then OFF
If Outlet Timer2 = ON Then OFF
If Time 20:30 to 10:00 Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF

Outlet Timer3
OSC 015:00/005:00/000:00 Then ON
If Outlet Timer1 = ON Then OFF
If Time 19:29 to 09:00 Then OFF
If FeedA 000 Then OFF

Here is one of the profiles used I can provide the rest if you like but they will be custom to your setup.

Profile Lt_Flush
control type pump
sync off
divivde by 10 off
initial off time 0
on time 4
off time 4
minimum intensity 0
maximum intensity 100

Profile Rt_Flush
control type pump
sync enabled
divivde by 10 off
initial off time 2
on time 4
off time 2
minimum intensity 0
maximum intensity 100

I copied code from RC and modified it for my need.
If you have Tune 6105 model, the [B]Minimum intensity[/B] must be at least 30. Otherwise, you will hear the click noise.

Can you post your code here? I didn't see any codes in the link you referenced. I'm not on RC so that makes it hard to find them for me.

Thanks! This gives me something to approach and play with.
 
Another question that I forgot to address. Are your Tunzes plugged into an EB8 outlet and a Variable speed port (whether on the Base unit or a VDM) or just the VDM or just the EB8?

I currently have mine plugged into only the EB9 outlet.
 
if you have full apex, all I need is http://www.aquariumspecialty.com/neptune-apex-2-channel-aquasurf-apex-to-stream-cable">Apex 2 Channel AquaSurf/Apex to Stream Cable</a>

I plug mine into regular power outlets and Variable speed port

I do have a Full Apex but the Base Unit variable speed ports are being used by an LED fixture so I have a VDM module and the Apex-Tunze cable for the powerheads.

GGGRRRRRR...this is getting annoying. I have two 6100's connected. If I don't connect the drivers to my VDM...both run at 100% steady. If I connect them both to the VDM, only one runs at all. I've switched them back and forth and only one runs. The cable is brand new. I even tried switch ports on the VDM and it does the same thing.

Any ideas?
