No variable speed options on this series but that is definately something that would be useful. With that as an option, one prime mover could be used for any number of differant sized tanks. There has to be some economy of scale benefit in that for the manufacturer which would lower cost and hopefully price while making the product more flexible at the same time -Jonathan I like the idea of having two speeds for day and night.

That is what always gets me about gadgets; the number of things they do is soon outstripped by the things I wish it did, that woulda-coulda-shoulda been done. Apparently Fluval eSeries "electronic heaters" can chirp alarms out. I wish this thing had an inline heater too. The conductivity thing seems quite cool, and I'm curious how much you could learn about your tank just by having conductivity sensors. I wish that you could hook a USB cable up to this thing and have the sensor data logged to your computer. Apparently EHEIM's 3e electronic filters have USB connectors so you can use your computer to program it's variable pump speed options. Are there variable pump speed, day/night and wave functions in this thing? W The chirping temperature thing would have cost 25 cents to include.
