I was wondering if my old gen 1 XF150 would couple with a new XF230 with the new controller?

I wanted the smaller pump on the opposite side of my tank since there's limited room for mounting. Do the two different sizes conflict with use through the new controller?
Thanks!

Page 2 of thread, second link down. Unless anything has changed, I think I now understand the controller will be compatible only with a sister pump of the same series. 150/150 or 130/130
Thanks for that! I was trying to find info from so many places before making a thread. Thought I would just go to the source of a reliable answer.
I've been told it only works with their same-sized counterpart so it looks like you've confirmed it. Such a shame. I have one side of my tank that is shorter than the other due to the weir/overflow. Hence the need for a 130 on that side and my 150 on the longer full end.
