Just In: Reef Octopus Diablo DC Water Pumps

[MarineDepot]

According to CoralVue's website, the new RODC 3500 can be use internal or external:

Reef Octopus RODC 3500

At a mere 30W at max. power, it should make a great return pump for many applications.

I know this was asked above but can the RODC 3500 be used with the 10v control of an apex? I am open to modifying the cable if needed to manually connect the two.

Hi gotfrogs,

Thanks for your inquiry. Unfortunately, RODC pumps (as well as just about all other DC pumps) do not have a dedicated 'controller' port so it cannot be connected to the 0-10V VDM.

There have been a few people here on the forums that have DIY'd their own cables to make it work. However, there is no official product available from Neptune at this time. However, I'm sure they are working on it.
