You can only use the pump controller as of now, rumors of 0-10V external control are around but nothing released as far as I know. There may be issues relating to the ability to pulse or ramp the pumps up and down too quickly, not sure the pumps can handle it.

As well pm me a price on the puratech rodi

Jeff, these pumps are super quite! I have one of the DC10000 running my 165 and it is so quite that I sometimes have to touch it to see if its still running :lol:

Thanks for the heads up Greg the quiet one 6000 is a bit noisier than I'm liking ATM

Which is a better pump and why?

imo both are awesome pumps waterblasters ive never had anything bad to say , fairly quiet, high efficiency, and little vibrations, plus yheyve been around so not new technology.

speedwave are dead quiet( so far im finding anyways) , variable speed , low vibrations but they are dead new product so hard to say where they will be in 3 yrs.

for my new 75g i was torn between the waterblaster 7000 or the speedwave 1320 , in the end i decided speedwave , i wanted to try them out..... reviews for the wavelines were good so i figured what the hell, after plugging in mine last night im happy with it so far:)

can you control the controller, eg does it has a input that would allow you to vary the speed with another device (Arduino board or such)

not right now but i imagine they will incorporate all those goodies as they get more common, right now this is a new product and im guessing they wanted to keep it basic, i however would like to see it incorporated in the future:)
