Apex controller to Ecotech MP10 connection question

[BaltimoreFish]

I currently have the apex classic controller and I want to upgrade my current tunze pump to an Ecotech MP10.

Here is the Apex unit I have: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/apex-controller-with-lab-probe-neptune-systems.html

I'm confused what my options are.

I want to have control of the MP10 through my apex (I don't want to use Ecotech's online functionality for simplicity's sake)

My biggest question is do I need to buy the VDM module? I already have the V1/V2 and V3/V4 connections on my main module.

Also, can I just buy the non-wireless MP10 and connect it or do I need to buy another connector. Here is the pump I want: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/vortech-mp10-qd-propeller-pump-ecotech-marine.html

Thanks for the help

I don't want the wireless MP10s-I want the non-wireless MP10s.

But do I need the VDM if I want the non-wireless MP10? I think it will plug into my main module (v1/v2, v/3/v4) now but I want to confirm.

If you don't have the Ecotech Wireless MP10 then the Apex can ONLY turn the pump ON and OFF no other functions.

The VDM will not connect to a MP10, because the Ecotech MP10 do not have 0-10 control

In order to have your apex control Vortech pumps you need to have wireless versions of the MP10 and the Neptune WXM module.

Thanks for the info!

Get the wireless version. Worth the extra $50. Sell your VDM and get a WXM.
