I just ordered this , aparently from the RC article you can slow it down with this, $5.99 and free shipping I think Ill try
to see if it works, because when I have the perfect wave dialed in , it goes over my edges so if I could slow it down a bit it might help.

There is a mod to control these pumps through Apex. Search & you will find.

Shaun, I am lazy guy. Why don't you search and put the link here...
Why? Are you going to admit that the Apex is the way to go? Down with DA!!

Mai, Arduino is old! Netduino is the way to go, especially since you are familiar with .NET.
BTW: Mai ditched me last night...
Idk if I'm using the right terminology but I wonder if these if these pumps will eventually send stray voltage into the tank. I bought everything out of this one tank this Guy was selling and he had several Chinese powerheads in it and as I was grabbing things out of the tank I would randomly receive a pretty decent shock. Can't believe things were living in that tank.

No experience yet with these, but I'm pretty sure I had a koralia do that to me, so cheap or not, it can happen

Here's a quick oneFor Neptune Apex:0-10v analog input PWM module:Search ebay for LED DIMMER PWM 10 A.12VDC-24 VDC; POT. or 0-10V controlCat5e ethernet cordWire nuts or solder and heat shrink tubingSolid core wires (or wires that can handle up to 5A) stevesleds has someUnscrew the controller casing
24- is blue24+ is reddishVA is green yellow and remains untouchedCut the blue and red wire about halfway down, so you have enough wire connected to the controller still, and some down the cord.Add solid core wire to extend the wire length with wire nuts, solder, or some way to connect the wires securely.The 0-10v PWM module terminals look like this -+ +-The first -(blue) and +(red) go to the pump wiresThe next +(red) -(blue) are the ones connected to the controller internals 24+ and 24- pointsThe following saves you $14 over getting a neptune vdm cord.Cut one end of a Cat 5e ethernet cord off.Keep the following wiresrange/white wire (positive) - orange wire (negative) blue/white wire (positive) - green wire (negative)When plugged into the first VDM port, blue/white green is V1, oranges are V2Second port, blue white green is V3, oranges V4On the 0-10v module for V1, connect blue/white to + on 0-10v control input terminal , green to - control.Put the controller back together in a project box, do a really good job with electrical tape taping the loose box together, or fit it all inside somehow and screw back together.Set profiles and you're done.
