can you control the controller, eg does it has a input that would allow you to vary the speed with another device (Arduino board or such)

You can only use the pump controller as of now, rumors of 0-10V external control are around but nothing released as far as I know. There may be issues relating to the ability to pulse or ramp the pumps up and down too quickly, not sure the pumps can handle it.

imo both are awesome pumps waterblasters ive never had anything bad to say , fairly quiet, high efficiency, and little vibrations, plus yheyve been around so not new technology.

speedwave are dead quiet( so far im finding anyways) , variable speed , low vibrations but they are dead new product so hard to say where they will be in 3 yrs.


for my new 75g i was torn between the waterblaster 7000 or the speedwave 1320 , in the end i decided speedwave , i wanted to try them out..... reviews for the wavelines were good so i figured what the hell, after plugging in mine last night im happy with it so far

not right now but i imagine they will incorporate all those goodies as they get more common, right now this is a new product and im guessing they wanted to keep it basic, i however would like to see it incorporated in the future


cheers
