Can’t wait to see it! You said Tidal in your title, does that mean your planning on making tidal wave like motion and currents?

How do you plan on doing it?

How do you plan on doing it?

2 Apex Cor20 pumps.........one plumbed to one side of tank..........the other plumbed to the opposite side........also gives me redundancy on a critical piece of equipment.

I’m guessing it‘ll give you a clash affect. How much clash are you looking for?

Variable.......each Apex pump allows for varible flow control.......while one is full blast the other can be a trickle n vice versa.........they are programmable.
