I just got a new MP40Wes but I don't have a manual. Long story.

How do I set it up to go into night mode and also to change to different modes throughout the day. I have an apex but I thought you could do that with the ES controller.

I also have an MP10es on another tank and I want it to do the same thing.

Indefinite hiatus from sw aquariums.

Once I have my glorious return I'll set back up the following.
50 Gallon rimless cube.
180 Gallons mixed reef paradise

To control your vortechs with your apex, you need the WXM module for your apex. Do you already have that?

Nope. Is that the only way to automatically change modes throughout the day?

Other than night mode, yes. You can enable night mode by following these steps:

The first time you use night mode, you must tell it when to go 
into Night Mode. You do this by pressing and holding both 
Mode and Set and then pressing and holding Mode and Set 
again. If you remove power to your Vortech driver, you must 
tell it again when to go into Night Mode.

The above was taken from the Vortech manual.
