I recently switched to one of the new Jebao DCT-4000 return pumps. I am very pleased with it (quiet, powerful, controllable).

I assume it would be possible to control it via RA pretty easily. Has anyone written anything for these DCT units? I don't have an RA yet but expect to someday.

I plan to control 2 Chinese LED boxes and 2 Jebao RW8 (among other things eventually).
Am I right that I'll need a PWM controller, plus the dimming extension?

Oh... so does the Jebao/Speedwave Cable connect the 3 elements together (RA controller, Jebao powersupply, wavemaker)?

Thanks for the info on the RW-4/8. I'll probably just go with the 8, and hopefully be able to dial it back.

Thanks so much. Also, when I connect my WP-25 I assume the power comes fully from the RA (no use for the original power supply). Is that correct? I'd also like to add an RW-8, will the base controller handle two wave makers, or do I need an expansion? As an aside... We have a 4', 55g tank (currently...

I want an ATO, and since I think I will want a controller in the future (for dimming, and wave control, etc) I'm thinking it makes sense to start with a RA instead of getting a stand-alone ATO system. So, will I be happy with the RA+ out of the box with its two float switches? Can that make an adequ...
