glad you asked we actually have the reef-octopus diablo dc water pumps coming to us hopefully right away , weve been eyeing these for some time and waiting for its release

That is the main reason I put fans on all my power supplies to keep them cool. They run around 50*c without cooling but mine are running at 28*c with the fans on them.

it is the same thats what i was getting at lol...as far as the housing goes anyways........ power supplies to my understanding are a better quality which have been a huge pain so far for these dc pump...all dc pumps in fact.

at the end of the day its the same body and housing , for us with warranty the power supplies are causing us the most grief and the controllers are a close second, the pumps themselves we have had some good luck with
