Cathar shows that running the [email protected] seems to be an ideal setup ... he also gives links to buy the power supply to do so ...

well I'm not very good with electronics but I'm sure this is a fairly simple setup and I'd like to give it a try... can anyone give me an explanation how to do this?

The MCP600 has been discontinued in favor of the newer 12V MCP650. I'd look at that pump instead. The MCP is no slouch, but the MCP650 has a much greater availability and should be much easier to setup.

It's confirmed that this pump:

is the MCP600

I wont need the MCP650 because its not much better and from what I've heard is considerably noisier.

The MCP600 is the same as the AquaXtreme 50z found at cooltechinica and D-Tek... still a fine pump. You would IMO be much better off with this PSU from Meanwell... http://jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores...toreId=10001&catalogId=10001&productId=125259 and it is cheaper and better. It is a 15V PSU with 2.8A and the voltage can be adjusted downward or upward... there is a voltage regulator right on the back of it. I have a meanwell 240W 24V for my 24V RD-30. Essentially you hook the pump up to the DC out of the PSU and then cut a powercord and hook it up to the AC side of the PSU. The one drawback is now you have to plug the PSU into the wall, so you will have 2 PSU cords. You can see the full specs of the PSU here: http://meanwellusa.com/cat_pdfs/c_s-40.pdf They also make a 12V version which you could over-volt instead of undervolting the 15V.

Ah thank you very much for the links and the explanation
