With the QuietDrive driver, making a wave form in your tank is made easy with Auto-Tune functionality. Follow
the sequence outlined in the diagram below to utilize the Auto-Tune function in simulating a wave in your reef
tank environment.
The generation of waves within your aquarium places additional stress on the aquarium glass and joints. Not
all aquarium tanks are designed to withstand this stress, and failure of the glass and/or joints could result.
You are encouraged, before generating waves, to consult with your aquarium tank manufacturer to determine
if the tank construction is adequate to withstand the additional stress generated by the wave motion. You
are also encouraged to assure that your aquarium stand or furniture is adequately stable to withstand the
additional stress resulting from wave generation. EcoTech Marine DISCLAIMS AND WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR,
damage to aquarium tanks or their surroundings, water damage, or any other consequential damages resulting
from wave generation. MAKE WAVES AT YOUR OWN RISK.
At the touch of the button, all VorTech wirelessly enabled pumps will temporarily pause their current mode and
idle allowing food to be added to the tank without being cycled into the overflow and filtration. To enter Feed
Mode simply press and hold the MODE button.
Pumps can be enabled to run a gentler night time program simulating calmer ocean conditions for night time
hours. To access Night Mode press and hold the MODE and SET buttons, pause, and then press and hold the
MODE and SET buttons. The control dial will breathe white and spin at 50% power for 10hrs (default setting),
and then resume its set mode.
The EcoTech Marine Battery Backup (sold separately) combined with your VorTech pump is a unique accessory
which greatly improves your likelihood of emerging from a power outage condition without any loss of
livestock. However, no single solution is guaranteed to work for all aquarium sizes and stocking levels. Larger
reef tanks with dense stocking levels of fish may require multiple VorTech’s and Battery Backups in order to
provide sufficient flow to keep fish and corals alive in the absence of power. In the event of a power outage,
your VorTech pump will automatically pull power from the Battery Backup accessory and function in Battery
Backup Mode. While in Battery Backup Mode, your pump will operate at a reduced speed for as long as the
battery is able to provide power, or until power from the wall comes back.
Once you have entered
into Short Pulse Mode,
adjust the speed to your
desired intensity then tap
SET. Now, typically you
would tune the frequency
of your pulse but if you
would like to enable the
Auto-Tune function, hold
SET and Option until the
LED’s roll back and forth.
The QuietDrive driver will
now start at the highest
pulse frequency, then
slowly move to slower and
slower frequencies. Once
you see your desired wave form in your aquarium, tap SET again to stop the Auto-Tune. You will now have the
ability to fine-tune your wave form by pressing MODE to go back one step, or OPTION to go forward one step.
This will be shown visually on the LED strip. Once you are happy with the wave form that you have created,
press SET again to save it. You will know it is saved because the LED knob will breath blue.
To fine tune wave, press MODE to speed up
wave and OPTION to slow down wave. This will
be shown visually with the blue LED strip. When
satisfied, press SET again to save wave.
Hold SET and OPTION
until Blue LEDs roll
back and forth slowly
Press SET when you
see a desired wave
form in your tank.
