Different Dimming Speeds

I have a 6 channel dimming expansion.
I have 3 channels used by my lights.
With the other 3 channels, I would like to control my DC skimmer, return pump, and Jebao RW 15.
I tried working around the wizard, but I am confused at how to code it.
Basically, I want my DC skimmer (Channel 3) to be at 75%
I want my return pump to be at 25%
And i want my RW-15 to be at wave mode at 20%.
And i want control over all 3 with my phone, which I am sure is just as easy as adjusting the dimming percent on the U-App.
Can I get a hand here?
Thanks

The Skimmer and return pump will be setup as Constant.
The problem is going to be the different speeds
The DCPump is setup for the same speed for each pump running.
There maybe away to do it by using the offset the lnevo implemented.
It's a little beyond my coding capabilities.
Also I know that the Jebao WP pumps have a lower limit on them or else they shut off.
For example the WP-40 doesn't like to go below 25% or else it shuts off and you have to unplug it to get it going again.
I don't know if the DC pumps have a lower limit on them or what it is, but I'm guessing it does.

Easy. Use the wizard to set up the RW-15. Like Steve said, it may not run at 20%. You may have to go up a little.
Use this for the DC skimmer on channel 3.
Use this for the return pump on channel 4 (I assume). If it doesn't run at 25%, you may have to up the speed a little.

I was thinking along those lines, but couldn't remember the way to code it.

Awesome
This is exactly what I was looking for.
Been awhile since I've touched the controller, but all a sudden, I got this hankering to start improving everything.

I know the feeling.
