Reefcrest Random Mode
Reefcrest Random Mode mimics a high-energy reef zone
such as that found on the reefcrest of a natural coral reef.
In this zone of the coral reef, the waves crash down upon
the reef providing frequent surges in flow. Reefcrest Mode
simulates this environment by automatically changing the
speed of your pump frequently and drastically.
Once selected in Reefcrest Random Mode. Adjusting the
knob will now change the maximum speed that the pump
operates at while in Reefcrest Mode. This will be shown
visually on the LED strip for three seconds. After the maxi-
mum speed representation disappears, the LED strip’s
LED’s represent what speed the pump is currently operat-
ing at within the Reefcrest Mode cycle. You will notice that
at some times the pump runs at higher speeds than at oth-
ers. This is the nature of Reefcrest Mode.
When using Reefcrest Random Mode with multiple pumps, the Master Pump will send out a wire-
less signal. Any slave pumps that have been grouped with this master will receive this signal and
do either the same thing as the master (Sync Mode, white), or the opposite of the master (Anti-
Sync Mode, orange). This type of group can be used to create random currents throughout a reef
tank, ensuring that the pumps are either working together or against each other depending on
what you desire as a reef keeper.
Lagoon Random
Lagoon Random Mode mimics the low-energy reef zone such as that found in a lagoon. A lagoon
is protected from the high energy of large waves and therefore the corals that come from this zone
are used to slower, more gentle currents than those found in a Reefcrest environment. Lagoon
Mode simulates this environment by automatically changing the speed of your pump slowly.
When using Lagoon Random Mode with multiple pumps,
the Master Pump will send out a wireless signal. Any slave
pumps that have been grouped with this master will re-
ceive this signal and do either the same thing as the master
(Sync Mode, white), or the opposite of the master (Anti-
Sync Mode, orange). This type of group can be used to
create random currents throughout a reef tank, ensuring
that the pumps are either working together or against each
other depending on what you desire as a reef keeper.

Illustration to the right shows an EcoSmart Driver in Random Mode (Yellow Con-
trol Dial). The thrid and fourth brightly illuminated LEDs show that this driver is set
to Lagoon Random along with the dim LEDs showing the speed setting.
