FYI, you can adapt the Tunze ATO pump to work with the hydros drive port. Just pickup a Hydros Drive Cable. Cut the cable and attach it to the Tunze pump.

Unfortunately, that cannot be done because the Tunze Pump runs best somewhere between 4-9 volts. If you run it at 12V, it creates too much starting load for the power supply inside the Control. For that reason, you cannot put it on a drive port since it will run the pump at 12V.
One option is to connect the pump to a variable voltage power adapter and set the power supply to 4.5V depending on how high up you are pushing water.
Connect that to an outlet on a WiFi Strip and run it.

Good to know! I saw the pump spec somewhere was good to 12V and just assumed it would work. Thanks for clearing that up!
