Thanks for the quick response Shoggy! I'll make a new diagram again but this time, using aquaero lt 6 instead of the Octo..OCTO can not be connected to the D5 NEXT via aquabus. The aquabus always requires an aquaero as master device.
The RGBpx and mainboard-style plugs on farbwerk 360 are connected in parallel! If you want individual control of all components you have to use the 4th channel which is not used in your diagram.
If you let it be connected in parallel you have to add a second controller for this channel within the aquasuite. Assign the amount of the additional LEDs to it and set solid white as effect. This way you will get no problems that the port will be overloaded because of a wrong current calculation. The device does not know that you connect LEDs in parallel so you have to add these LEDs with an additional controller in the "invisible" LED area.
Like what I've initially said, I have no clue what I'm doing and where to hook what.. My mobo only has 2 Usb header.. does this mean I have to get the Hubby7 for these to work?Your diagram is missing three USB connections from high flow NEXT, Farbwerk 360 and Octo to the motherboard.

You have a little mistake in your diagram, the USB motherboard headers provide 2 USB ports each, so you have 4 internal USB 2.0 ports for 4 devices.
So if you don't want to connect other internal USB devices or front ports you don't need the hubby.
It's the same with the Hubby 7, the 9 pin headers are two USB 2.0 ports each.
It is important to connect the internal USB cables always with the black wires in direction of the missing pin.
The Aquaero, with the appropriate accessories, can shut down a computer even when Windows is not running.
Through the Aquabus connection, the D5Next for example can be controlled directly and delivers the data to the Aquaero even without USB, so a shutdown, in this example in case of a pump failure, would also work under Linux, for which there is no Aquasuite.
In addition, the Aquaero can control 3 pin fans, which the Qudro/Octo can't do anymore, but that shouldn't be necessary anymore :-)
As long as the computer is running Windows only and therefore the USB connection works, you can "simply" set up the shutdown of the computer via the playground in the Aquasuite, then no Aquaero is necessary, because no Aquabus is needed.
An Octo is the much cheaper choice if you have 4 pin PWM fans and want to use Windows.

Hello everyone,
I made a new diagram without the aquaero, replaced it with Octo and included the alarm cable.
Instead of using aquabus splitters, all the devices are now connected through usb header.
can anyone confirm if what I did is right? can I control the pump's speed with just having the usb connection?

Hello Utah,@ae111James How did you make the schematic of your aquero setup?
Hello InfoSeeker,thanks for the help! Shoggy helped me finish my diagram. It ended up almost just like what you said basicallyQuoted

Yes, the pump RPM can be controlled with only the USB connection.
Daisy-chaining
all four RGBpx strips to the fourth farbwerk 360 port may be a better
solution (see Shoggy's post above), the only caveat being the total LED
count has to be 90 or less.
Using THESE CABLES you could add four of THIS STRIP
in series and better be able to control effects across all four strips.
This will not work if you cut the strips (with exception of the last
strip), as you will loose the OUT port on the cut strip
