Hi,
I have 2 Maxspect Gyre 250s on either side of my 150g tank mounted vertically on the back wall corners. The way the pumps are oriented, there is only about 9” of cable in the tank and then the cables go down the back of the stand and through a bit of a rats nest of cabling and plumbing to IceCap controllers underneath.
This means to clean them, I must disconnect under the stand and fish the cables through the back and out of the canopy because the quick disconnects are at the end of the cord that plus in near the controllers.
What I would like to do is cut the cords much closer to the end of the powerhead and splice in a connector. This sounds simple as it should be a simple DC current, but is there any impact from the tiny bit of increases impedance that could result? And if not, does anyone know if Maxspect sells the factory quick connects anywhere?
