I've since upgraded my current usa wavemakers to the 1100gph and have the 660gph laying around. Any idea how I can wire it to run full power through an outlet? I assume its 12v. Thanks in advance
 
Do you not have a driver for the pump and do you happen to have a schematic? I would assume you would need to get one and purchase a 120v to 12v transformer and at 12V it would run 100% but you need to know if 12 volts is in fact the power for the pump. And a schematic would be great.

Current USA's manifold can only hold 3 pumps and they are all occupied. I dont have a schematic. Looks like the website says its 24v
 
I think the pumps itself is 12v because each pump requires the included 12v power blocks
 
The manifolds are only $11.50 on Amazon. You'll likely spend more than this trying to rig something. However, I think you may need a 2nd controller as well. I don't know if you can start them running and then disconnect the controller. I've never tried.

Amazon product ASIN B01N3L3M4Y
 
Switching the controller back and forth sounds like it should work. Ill try and unplug the controller. Id be amazed if it works
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
