Korallia mod
This may not be possible. Has anybody tried putting a korallia pump on a rheostat. This would allow speed to be varied. With the right circuitry one could make a automatic rapid adjustment getting a pattern similar to a vortech.

First step I guess I need to pick up a cheap rheostat from the home depot. Will post results tommorow evening.

I'm very interested...

I'm curious to know if the adjustments will be manual. If not how are you going to go about setting up a "schedule". I could potentially see this achieved through the use of a microprocessor and some sort of digital rheostat?

I am gonna try it manual to see if it works
I have a friend who was an electronics major I may have to consult to automate it.
