If hooking up my tunze 6095s to profilux. I hook the tunze up with correct 0-10v cables. Do I still need to hook the tunze up to the wall for power. I think no correct since it will be powered by 1-10v from controller. But I could be totally wrong

Hello,
I am not sure but I believe the 0 - 10 v is only the control voltage not the operating voltage for the pumps.

I don't own the Tunze, but I seriously doubt all it needs is 10v from the controller. For every device that I have that is controlled by 0-10v, you supply external power and the 0-10v is there to "turn the knob up and down".

Ok thanks. So I'll plug em all in as well. Thanks.

Yep, needs power as well. If using the Profilux to control them you are basically bypassing the Tunze controller.

I had 6095s connected to an Apex, below 30% Apex power setting or so they wouldn’t run. Not sure if this applies to Profilux as well, but @Vinny@GHLUSA or @rvitko may be able to clarify.

Yes, the pump is actually 24V, the control voltage is actually 0-6.5V range.

Ya I have two 6095s and p4. I'll be trying to set up the 6095s per @rvitko recommendation on running them on each side. I hope they are enough flow. If not I'll have to get 2 more I guess and put on back wall towards middle overflow facing front glass. But not sure how I'd have to add those in the already running left and right. But one thing at a time. Well see if dead spots exist with the two 6095 ran Roger's recommendation.
