I have a question. I, like a lot of people here have those DC pumps by Jaebo/Reef Octopus etc. How close is the foot print to these other DC pumps so that we can swap them out?

Only in the fuge chamber and return chamber. My protein skimmer is in the first chamber with socks and it doesn't change much. Maybe 1/4" max. Also to run with variable speeds through out day/ high low tide you need Reeflink so you can use ESL. Highly recommendedmight be a dumb question but people running these as return pump, how are you running them with a variable speeds or have them program them to run high/low tide. Wont this drop/raise the water level in the sump to much???
Great! So far I haven't seen any complaints about the Vectra's and the response to just how much water these put out has been at the top of the compliment list.
Would love to hear more about your experiences with it on ESL. (Notifications, programming...etc. )
I think you have this backwards. As I understand it, Neptune isn't making their modules compatible with 3rd party but rather providing 3rd parties a module they can use to make their own products compatible with Neptune. ETM made the decision to not release this as Apex compatible. From what I read, this was because they spent the time getting the pump and its own controller ready for release and will, in time, provide an option to connect to Apex. Have any of ETM's products released as Apex ready right from the get go?See there in lies a problem.. Neptune decides to make competing products and then expects their competitors to make them compatible. When Neptune was a smaller company they made the modules compatible with others products. They are playing on a fine line right now and this could allow another company to make up ground on them again. They are getting away with it because they are so big right now.
Hi. Just got my L1 and excited to get it running on my main sps display. One question though. I am replacing a reef octopus hy-5000 which is 1300 gph and running roughly around 5 ft of head. What percentage do I run the pump as a return at to replicate my current pumps gph?
Thanks
Is this what you're looking for?
As far as what each specific % and corresponding gph is... I haven't seen that much specificity yet, but would be an eye opening experiment for someone to test. **Nudge, nudge. [emoji4]
That's what I'm saying. The pump at 5 ft. of head is running around 2200 to 2300 gph at full power. So what percentage on the controller would I run it at to be at 1300 gph? Kinda looking for an answer from ecotech regarding this.
