Pump & power supply only (new SKUs)
XF 230/250/280

Controller & larger power supply (runs two gyre motors) only (new SKUs)
XF 230/250

Controller only (new SKU)
XF 280

Pump, power supply & new controller (the box package we've known for the previous XF130/150)
XF 230/250
XF 280

Dual pumps, larger power supply & controller (new SKUs)
XF 230/250

Dual pumps, dual power supplies & controller (new SKU)
XF 280

I made a distinction between the controllers as it wasn't quite clear on if there are two versions as the XF280 controller has two power inputs vs the XF230/250 which utilize a single larger brick to drive both motors.

The 280 controller is sold separately with no power supply. The power supply is needed but is included in the complete kit http://www.reefsupplies.ca/online-st...r-Package.html or pump kit http://www.reefsupplies.ca/online-st...er-Supply.html

The smaller models need one power supply to run two pumps. So you can buy the full kit http://www.reefsupplies.ca/online-st...r-Package.html and add a second pump http://www.reefsupplies.ca/online-st...F250-Pump.html

This is the case for both the 230 and 250

If you have a 130 or 150 you can upgrade to the new advanced controller by buying the upgrade kit, http://www.reefsupplies.ca/online-st...er-Supply.html or for the 130 to 230 http://www.reefsupplies.ca/online-st...er-Supply.html

Thanks

About time they did this... :)

Which controller do I need to get for the old 150 models? I would like to get a package deal with power supply so I don't have to mess around with it, just plug in and play...

Hey,

130 = 230
150 = 250

So you would need this http://www.reefsupplies.ca/online-st...er-Supply.html

Thanks!

Is the pump new and improved in this package or is it just new controller using the old pumps?

Hi,

All the pumps now use the latest ruggedized Props and new style bushings. These updates have dramatically increased the reliability from the first gen.

Thanks
