I have my APEX (I said trident before) programmed for my 2 streams. But the only way I know how to set up the streams is putting in a flow intensity for each time point I put in. I guess I can make that alternating flow. But I'd like to have many alternating flows. I'm thinking once every 30 seconds. The left one pushing water at one point, then off, and then the right. Back and Forth. And then having it different intensities through the day and night.
How do I do this?
I attached pic of where I put the stream intensities in the trident. I dont know any other place to put an actual program for the streams.
TIA

Not sure if we are talking the same thing.
I send a reference out to my tunze turbelle from the apex.
There are 3 profiles, pf2 = off (feed mode), pf3=slow constant (night), and wave pf1= 5secs on 5 secs off.
The 3 profiles are then switched using the advanced programming:

Set PF3
If Time 09:00 to 17:00 Then PF1
If Output RetPump_2_3 = OFF Then PF2

Thank you for that.. I need to re-figure out how to do profiles.
But I dont think I was able to ever figure out how to attach a program like the
Set PF3
If Time 09:00 to 17:00 Then PF1
If Output RetPump_2_3 = OFF Then PF2. . I can only put time points and power for each time point (very time consuming compared to a program)
*How do I 'link' a program to the stream(s) outlet. It's just out outlet branched into two streams.
TIA

The variable 0 to 10 v is a programmable output you can assign the profiles to with advanced programming selection
i see the programming section now. I dont know how I missed it. it's the gear which has a pull down menu for the 0-10 v outlet. in the uppper right of that window. I missed that b/c the advanced programming option for other controls such as my CO2 (in actual outlet 8) has the advanced option in a pull down menu in a main window (on left). Now I know where to put a program for the 0-10 of the streams, I can play with this.
