Got a new Wp40 to add more random flow (already have 2 vortech mp40wes) and wondering what setting do most of you have yours set to? What setting have you seen your corals most happy (polyp extension wise) under? Please help this jebao noob out.

I forgot what I used. But your tank dims matter. My 48x30x24 needed the shorter pulses to get a better wave. Faster pulses didn't do much. But it also takes time to really get into its groove per setting.

i use h1 but thats just cause its the only pump in my tank. if your looking for wave i would do W1/s1 and play with the knob til you get the movement you want. if its too much flow you can switch down to s2 or s3 on the W1 mode.
