This is especially important now, as they have some BIG news to break before the Reef-a-palooza event. As you remember, we told you during our MACNA XXI coverage about the different things that they have been brewing up. But unfortunately, we couldn’t get into the specifics of their schemes. That is why we have today. So fasten up.

Hot of the burner is a story of the work being done into the controller module for the Tunze pumps, dubbed the TPC (Tunze Pump Controller). The project was needed as the demand for this unit has exponentially increased in the last year. The release date is unknown as this time, but you could see it in your home in six months time. This module will have four plug-ins for the pumps and will be controlled by the Head unit on your RKE system. This will allow those who want to own a Tunze pump, but don’t want to pay for their controller, to enjoy its benefits. Alongside RKE’s 2.0 firmware, this module will be able to do a lot of neat things. For that (the firmware 2.0 announcement), you have to tune to us later.

The biggest announcement of this module is not its functionality, but its price…… approx 150$USD. Not too shabby considering that the Tunze controlling units can get expensive rather quickly. How about 270$USD for a multicontroller. Yikes! I bet Tunze won’t like that ;)

Chalk up another one for DA under the ‘excellent job’ category! Now I have to give our News Fairy a much needed vacation. Thanks Reeferbell for your hard work!

Until next time reefnecks!
