Question About Some Timing

On my tank i have a the retun line T'd off with 2 returns into the tank, Dont ask why thats just the way the tank was when i got it. I have recently found a 3 way valve, and was going to set up to go from One return to the other every minute or so, (to create a wave type motion) I was wondering how long i should set it for, The Relay i have for the valve I can adjust from 60 sec to 180 sec. I was just wondering what would be the best time.

If none of this makes sense then sorry, let me know and ill try to explain better.

Thanks

Any of the settings will be fine from 1min. to 3min.; I don't think anyone could define "the best".

Wave motion is wave motion... I would say 30 sec at a time, in a natural reef waves come a much more frequent intervals sometimes, and sometimes the sea is "calm" so whatever you choose is what will work...
