Using the Direct Drive ports on the front of the WaveEngine, you can plug in pumps from different brands like IceCap, Reef Octopus, and Maxspect so you can power 4 pumps off a single power supply. By utilizing the Direct Drive ports, you no longer need the external controllers that are included with these pumps. If you're using 4 pumps, imagine all the clutter you can clear out of your stand by not having to use 4 power bricks and 4 controllers and instead having one of each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDue to the growing popularity of the WaveEngine, brands like IceCap are offering \"pump only\" versions of their products that do not include the external controller and power supply.
