Not sure if you would be interested in this type of pump it's a Neptune pzi8-12-vec. I have 2 of them. They are used. I tried uploading images didn't work.

Kjonulak. Did you use those Neptunes for outdoor use or indoor ... What was the exact usage ? Might be interested

I actually never used the pumps. A friend of mine from a FW club back east gave them to me before I moved to AZ. He thought that I might be able to use them with my SW reef tanks. He said that they work just fine. They are industrial grade metering pumps. Can be programmed a number of different ways. To be honest I haven't tried programming them. I did plug them in and I can hear the pump when I play with the settings. They are rated for indoor or outdoor use.

PM me with your cell number and I can send you a picture of the pumps with the name plate info.

Dan- how is it going with this pump? I bought one too and am having a really hard time. Please help.

From another thread:

I just bought one and am having a hard time setting it up.

My CaRx, MRC 6, has an inlet feed of 1/2". The pump tubing is tiny. Ive managed to reduce it to fit, but now at a setting of 100ml/min I get 28ml out. Yes I did the calibration. Hopefully correct.

regular air supply tubing is to big(3-4mm) even with wire ties, but I bought a "mini airline tubing" (2mm) Im almost sure its related to tubing size.

I know some have had success with this pump. Please advise. I at wits end with this thing. Im about to return.

Unfortunately i am not at this point in time. I have recently moved and have no real way of setting it up i want to get an awc going but the place i am in its not feasible. Will be putting my ca rx on line soon but gonna feed from my rtrn manifold
