Red Sea ReefRun Dual DC Pump Controller
Two ReefRun pumps, matched and scheduled from one controller. The Red Sea ReefRun Dual DC Pump Controller links two ReefRun-compatible DC pumps – return pumps, DC skimmer pumps, or a mix of the two – into the ReefBeat app, so flow, feed mode and wave patterns for both are set and scheduled together instead of separately at each pump.
Key features
- Controls two pumps from one unit: two independent flow channels, each with its own dial to pause the pump or adjust flow by hand.
- Flexible operating options: continuous 24/7 flow by default, a custom daily schedule or a wave pulse, plus Feed, Maintenance and Emergency quick actions in the app.
- ReefBeat app control – set schedules, monitor status and adjust flow remotely once the controller is on your Wi-Fi.
- Mounting bracket included – fixes cleanly to the inside of the cabinet rather than sitting loose.

What's included / Not included
The box holds the controller and its mounting bracket, with screws and adhesive tape to fix it in place. Pumps and their power supplies are sold separately. Original ReefRun DC pumps and the PSK DC-1200 skimmer pump have no controller of their own and will only run when connected to this controller. ReefRun G2 pumps are different: each one needs its own Flow Controller fitted, even when you run it through this controller.
Will it work with my pumps?
Yes if you have Red Sea ReefRun DC return pumps, a Reefer DC Skimmer (300, 600 or 900) or a Reefer skimmer fitted with the DC pump upgrade kit. For these, this is the controller that makes them run. ReefRun G2 pumps also connect to it, as long as each has its own Flow Controller fitted. It is made for Red Sea ReefRun compatible pumps only.
Suitable for, and not suitable for
Needed for anyone running an original ReefRun DC pump or a Reefer DC Skimmer, even if it is only one of them, because those pumps will not run without it. One controller runs two pumps, so a return pump and a DC skimmer pump can share it. G2 pump owners only need it if they want ReefBeat app control, since a G2 pump can also run on its own Flow Controller.
Care and maintenance
No consumables. Keep the unit dry and check its Wi-Fi connection after any router change, since remote control and notifications through ReefBeat depend on it.
Safety
Mains-powered – run it from an RCD-protected circuit and keep the cabling clear of any water splash or sump humidity.
Warranty and delivery
Covered by Red Sea's manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for 24 months from the date of purchase, in addition to your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Ships as a small parcel item.
Common questions
Do I need anything else to run a pump with it?
Original ReefRun DC pumps and the DC skimmer pump connect straight to it using the pump's own power supply and control cable. ReefRun G2 pumps also need their own Flow Controller fitted.
Can it control a skimmer pump and a return pump together?
Yes – it works with any mix of two ReefRun-compatible DC pumps, including DC skimmer pumps.
Does it work without Wi-Fi?
Yes. Without an internet connection it can be set up and run from the ReefBeat app in Offline (Direct) Mode, though remote access, notifications and using more than one phone are not available that way. Each pump also has its own dial on the controller to pause it or adjust flow by hand.
