With that second power connector coming from the Meanwell, would it be possible to connect another Kraken? Not sure there's an option to purchase the Kraken "alone". I'm about to use up all my ports - Force and Drive - and would like to add a few more things.

Yes, sorry, forgot to post. The two pin version of M12 fits the ReefMat. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805983017827.html.

Anyone know the max length of a sense port cable? I have two ports open on my XS that is a floor below and not directly underneath my main equipment / tank. I don't believe a 9' extension plus the optical water level cable will make it. Just wondering if I can splice the extension to make it...

Since I have my VarioS 4 (two of them) and Octo 2 running through the WEv2, could I boost 12V to 24V to the WEv2 when on battery also?

I now have the Red Sea DC skimmer (RSK300) working on the Kraken! Picked up a couple of M16 connectors and female barrel connectors with cable. The pin out of the Kraken Force port matches the RS ReefRun connectors, just in a slightly different order. Just pay attention to the pin numbers...

I had my cooling fans on a drive port. Even though it said it ran at 12v, the fan control ran REALLY hot. I decided to step it down with this: Amazon.com Runs well.

Your link is a two pin. If I can use that (the two 24DC wires to +, the two grounds to -), then yes, that'll work, I believe.

Yep, just not to M16 connector, not that I have found.

Yes, that is true and I have some on order. However, when I connect my Red Sea ReefRun (Skimmer) to the M16 connector, just trying to figure out the best method. If the Force port cable with the barrel works with the pin out at the start of this thread, then the two 24DC should go to one pin...

Yes, I understand, but I have barrel connectors with two pins, so if I purchase a GX12 4 pin and free wires on the other end, I assume I connect those 4 wires according. Just verifying. Got the Kraken setup with the battery. Got the WEv2 and Sicce pump connected. I used part of the Icecap...

Question on the GX12 4 pin. How does the barrel connector work? Do both 24DC go to one pin and the two grounds go to the other?

Collective connection wise, are you doing Kraken to XP8 to X4? My Kraken comes in this weekend but I have a WEv2 to add to the mix. My current connections are XP8 to X4 to WEv2. X4 gets power from the XP8 and WEv2 has it's own power. I'm thinking I would go Kraken to XP8 to X4 to WEv2. Use...

no I charge the lithium battery with a separate trickle charger.

not using a dual battery. I removed the stock battery and hooked up the external lithium battery.

I checked the fuse this morning, looks fine. For now, I have the IceCap backup out of the rotation. Maybe I'll hook it up later. I did remove the stock battery and attached a larger external one.

I'll check, but probably leave everything as is until we are back. I thought I plugged in everything. The same power I use for the IceCap is now plugged in directly to the WEv2. I have been noticing my GPH dropping the last few weeks or so. I had to increase % of the return a couple of...

Well, that did it. I disconnected from the IceCap and took the power going to the IceCap (WEv2 power) to the WEv2. Watched for the Check Pump warning....didn't come up. Reconnected the VarioS4, and yep, all good. In fact, seems stronger than before. I had to drop down the 74%. Now....why...

Hey all. I've had my Hydros setup working well for a while. My connections are XP8 -> X4 -> WEv2 <- IceCap backup power/power. I have 2 Octo Pulse 4's and 2 Octo VarioS4 - one running a return and the other pushing to a Chaeto reactor. My return pump is set to 78% with my other at 95% (going...

Success. Just wanted to confirm the steps. Thanks for the help.
