IceCap Gyre Compatibility

[eraserhead187]

Figured this is the place to ask this!

I have a 1k gyre pump and controller. The pump itself is beat up and barely working. I need a new pump, but am having trouble finding a 1k pump. Does anybody know if I can use a 2k pump with this controller?

Thanks!

Have you tried asking the manufacturer?

I have reached out to CoralVue, but have not received any response from them as of yet. My pump is dead so I would like to get this figured out before the weekend.

idk if they are forward compatable, but I know they are backward compatable as the wireless 2k/4k controller will run a 1k pump. the 1k pumps are discontinued. hopefully someone knows.

I went ahead and just got the 2k system. It is ridiculously powerful for my 34 gal tank. Hopefully I can figure out how to make it not blow the sand everywhere!

please try it with the 1k controller when arrives and let us know, as i prefer manual controllers over wifi chit. thanks

I’ve been running the 2K pumps with my 1K controllers and have had no problems.
