Sync 6095 and 6040?

[rishma]

Hi Roger,
Getting ready to re-set up my reefer 170. I plan to use my 6095 and was considering adding a 6040. Can these pumps work together? Alternating currents?
Thanks!

You should be able to use a controller cable to connect the two inline controllers and run one as a slave to the other.

Yes, they will connect, how many gallons and what are the dimensions?

By the way, welcome back Andy!

It’s 34 gallons, 24x22x20. Barebottom. The 6095 is a little strong but it’s what I have.
I was thinking 6040 to keep flow across the bottom and detritus suspended.

In that case I would agree.

Cool. It’s good to be back

I have a 6040 and 6095 in my Waterbox 40.2 setup this way. I really like the flow pattern they give. I had two 6040, but swapped one out for a 6095. I put the 6095 to get a wider flow pattern across the tank. I have the 6040 with diffuser pointed at the surface to create surface action. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/waterbox-marine-aio-40-2-build-by-ingchr1.533076/post-6854597
