Apex Gyre

Are there any gyre pumps on the market that are compatible with Apex? It looks like previous solutions like using an ice cap controller for maxpect gyres have been discontinued.

The Wave Engine LE is shipped now with the IceCaps. There is a cable for connecting the Wave Engine 0-10v input to an Apex. Here is the link for the cable https://www.coralvue.com/hydros-waveengine-apx-link . Here is the link to the WE LE https://www.coralvue.com/hydros-waveengine-le-pump-controller . It will power up to two compatible pumps. You would need the correct pump adapter cable also for the pump you want to use.

You may want to clarify what the Wave Engine LE to Apex does as I believe they are looking for full control and not on/off for water change or feeding.

OP - the short answer is no, there isn't. I will also note there is a short coming with the Wave Engine LE in that it can't drive the Gyres quicker than 2.5 seconds. For example the Maxspect controller has a range of .5 to 10 seconds. Taking that Gyre and moving it to the Wave Engine it is limited to 2.5 seconds...

You can buy any wave maker that has 0-10volt output. The reef octopus octo’s have that capability. They come in three different sizes.
This is the smallest one. The cable he talks about will work. But I think Bulk reef Supply has them.
