Can I connect 2 tunze pumps on a single L1 and two on a single L2?

Here is my setup: A 180g with two 54g corner units as bookends. (Ignore the mess, still a work in progress :D )

There is a single Tunze 6055 in each 54g and two 6101 in the 180g. I would like to set one 6055 and one 6101 to run together and then the other 6055 and 6101 to run together.

I have the Y2L splitter which will allow me to split L1/L2. Can I run two pumps off each of L1 and L2? Or do I have to use L3/L4 to operate all 4 pumps?

Thanks
Ward

As I understand it you just need two more Y splitters and chain them together.

Plug the first Y into the controller.

Then the other two New Ys into the first Y

Then the Tunze cables into the open jacks on the new Ys

Since the Ys are basically straight through
You will use Type 1 and 2 tunze cables

so two will run on L1 and the other two on L2

Thanks Harry_Fish,

That is what I thought. However, I wanted to be sure. I have two splitters. Somewhere along the way, I did not count correct. I guess I need 1 more.:p

Most welcome

You may still want to give Todd at Cherry Corals a call to confirm.

Just wanted to let you know it works fine. Split the main line to Tunze 1 and Tunze 2 using the Y2L splitter. Then I split each of these lines.

Profiluz recognized the 4 pumps, 2 in each group (Tunze 1 group and Tunze 2 group)

Thanks again.
