Have you bought the pumps yet? The new ones have built in 0-10V ability, but aren't out yet. Pretty sure building a controller for the old ones wouldn't be all that difficult either. I've been waiting for someone else to do it so I can copy them, hence my suggestion In terms of reliability can't see much going wrong, never had issues with controllable DC pumps like Tunze before, at least not relating to the controller portion of it.

Sorry Steve not going to happen so you will have to find someone else to do your dirty work for you . I wass going to go with 2 OM 4way on 2 pump but the one I bought used last yr doesn't work, mag drive is FUBAR!!

Can't wait to see the closed loop setup

Dont want to try and notch out 3/4 glass for and external, I don"t mind internal OF boxes.

One more mention of a *^&%$*% closed loop I will close this build thread and no one will get to see the end result.
