Okay so I have tried to do my research but not alot of information on the Aquaero in English.

Here is what I was wanting to do.

Run two Laing D5 pumps, but since they are a similar price to the Aqua computer ones, run two of these and monitor them. I know that running these off the Aquaero XT is pushing it so I was going to get two PA2 to run them. I think that you daisy chain the two (or three) PA2s Aquabuses together then the end can connect to the Aquaero Aquabus and the other end can take both the pumps connected through a Y splitter. Is that all right and sensible? If I use the Aquabus connections for the pumps do I need to bother with the tacho and temp sensor that are also possible with these pumps? Or does the Aquabus take this information?

I was also going to run 9x120 mm fans and 5x140 mm fans from the Aquaero but would it be better to get the Multiswitch to run these or will the Aquaero be able to take this many? (Also planning on running LEDs too)

Also I was going to run a reservoir with the fill level sensor and a flow meter. Now if I use the PA2s then I will only have one Aquabus left on the Aquaero, can I send both of these devices through the same Aquabus cable? (with a Y splitter) I also have the same question as before about the reservoir, do I need to connect the temp sensor also or does the Aquabus take this information?

Im sorry to ask so many questions, but want to make sure I know exactly what I need before I spent this sort of money.

Thanks for the reply.

I did see that review and had a look through it, was worried that he blew the device up at the end though.

With just my 9x120 mm fans they would use 13 watts, then add the 5x140 mm (not decided a make yet), but the watt per channel is 19.8 watt so with 4 fan channels I should be fine without anything else then. As you suggests make sure I get the waterblock to keep the temps down.

But I never thought of running the power for the pumps from the PSU, completely slipped my mind, got too involved in learning about this device. But that saves me power requirements for them at least.

That just leaves the aquabuses then for monitoring. I read that part about the using a splitter on here but I think it was for the same device, so wasnt sure if you can do it with two completely different ones.

Ah yes, so thats good.

Thank you for your help.

One final question, if I use the Aquabus on say the D5 pump, do I also need to use the temp and tacho setting or does the Aquabus transfer this information?
