The Nautilus control interface accepts a 0-10v analog DC control input, making it compatible with the Neptune Apex, Coralvue Hydros and other popular aquarium controllers.
Nautilus pumps are available in 7 sizes, ranging from 300 gallons per hour for nano tanks, to 3,200 GPH for large systems. Each pump includes a variety of output nozzle sizes designed to work with vinyl tubing. They can also easily be hard plumbed with PVC. Designed for internal use only.
The Nautilus DC Pump has a built-in slow start function and runs whisper-silent.
