    I just upgraded some of my gen2 mp40's to the new style controller so I am selling one of the gen2 controllers. I am only selling just the controller nothing else. It works fine. Would be a cheap way to upgrade a mp20
    I am asking $40 or trade for sps corals, tangs, or bengi cardinal

    So this would be all I need to change my MP20 to a 40? I never really understood how the upgrade worked sense the pumps is the same size.

    Just an FYI, you probably still need to get a power supply as the upgrade kit does not include a new power supply. You can order one from EcoTech for $50, or take your chances and get one of the universal ones from Radio Shack for about $15....and the MP20s use the same power supply as the MP10; but different than the MP40. I learned this the hard way.

    it actually needs a 12v 3 amp output ac/dc converter the mp20 use a 2 amp output here are a couple of links for converters on ebay that should work the first one is grounded the second one is not

    http://cgi.ebay.com/Power-AC-Adapter-PANASONIC-RFEA217P-AC-DC-12V-3A-/260592225849?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cac81ce39

    http://cgi.ebay.com/12V-3A-AC-DC-Adapter-Power-Supply-Charger-/220636502604?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item335ef5da4c

    if these links dont work just do a serch on ebay for ac/dc 12v 3a
