Hello Ghls'ers
I just discovered this company http://www.blau-aquaristic.com/
and https://www.facebook.com/blauaquaristic/
so if you, like me are looking for a good 1-0 v. profilux controllable DC Pump, these may be the solution
Cheers

Yes, but you need a suitable cable. But I couldn't find out from the company what kind of connection these pumps have.

Hello Pit
On their LED Lumina LED controller it's an RJ11 plug, so I guess it will be compatible ( they advertise this on their facebook page as well)
I just wrote them and asked fot the specs

If the controler for the DC pumps is the same, you can use a normal RJ12 6p6C cable. The pin assignment of the RJ12 connector is the same as for the Profilux.
If you want to control 2 pumps on a Profilux interface (Lx) you can use the Y-adapter from GHL.

I'll impatiently wait for the reply from blau-aquaristic
I didn't get any updates for a long time so I ended up buying a Aqua Medic DC runner 2000, rev. 2
It's incredibly noiseless and has been running almost a year now without any issues, I made a very simple DIY 0-10 volt cable so I can stop the pump and make a night shift
cheers, Brock
Hello John
I made it some time ago, measuring from a GHL -LPF-AP to be absolutely sure on the pinouts
https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/co...ofilux.370143/
So I'm not exactly sure which pins goes to where on a dc plug, I can measure the cable tomorrow and check my Ebay purchase list to see what the plug was
EDIT :
I just took it out and did a measurement
The cable is one of these

And this is the DC plug I bought, it's not that impressive...but dirt cheap

Remember to triple check everything twice som you don't fry your GHL box.
And Aqua Medic warns against running the DC runner below 60 % so the magic is limited, but still, I like the nocturnal change and the feeding pause option
plus, this pump is really quiet.
You can probably run a JEBAO with a similar cable, but they operate at 0 to 5 volts, this could be setup in the GHL control center but I'm a chicken som I wouldn't risk it ( after I burned my APEX controller with a LED drive some years ago...)
Some guys are on it here :

Anyway, have fun and cheers, Brock
