Best water flow By CY on 12/14/12

Bought this to keep the detritus moving in the tank. It has done the job better than anything else I've used. Mounting is a bit cumbersome, but it is a very nice product. Hard to swallow the pricing, but it's the only one that moves water that well.

Cadillac of Waterpumps! By Jerrad on 12/2/12
Jerrad would recommend this product to a friend
Truely get what you pay for. Was hesitant because of the price before getting my first one, but it wasnt long before I was getting a second one. VERY powerful water movers but flow is wide and gentle. Running 2 MP40's on a 120g at about 60% reefcrest anti-sync for LPS/softies.

Nice Pumps. By James on 11/28/12
James would recommend this product to a friend
Replaced 3 Koralia's in my tank with a MP10 and MP40. Expensive but what a great pump. The various modes are great. They communicate wirelessly with my Radion lights for sleep mode. No heat transfer and no power running into the tank. Which I always thought was a little weird considering water and power don't mix.
Overall great pump an well worth the money.
Note: They can be a little noisy until the break in and/or if you don't have the pin setting correct. EcoTech Support is top notch and one of the best in the aquatic industry.

I have both a mp40 and an mp10 on my 75 and they work wonders. I also like the fact that they can be hooked up to a controller. Great purchase. Ecotech also has great customer service.

Simply the best By Corey on 11/15/12

Having been in the reef hobby for more than 15 years and trying every powerhead under the sun I can honestly say that these are second to none. I have 2 of these on my 150 tall and since installing them about a year ago, my corals are happy happy.
The added benifit of the battery backup ability is icing on the cake.

Worth It By Bob on 11/11/12

These pumps are expensive but worth it. I have two of these in my 6 foot 125 gal. tank. They can really move water. I have it set at half power and it still produces a nice wave. There are many diffferent modes to choose from and they are easy to set up. The pumps come with a quick start guide and Echotech has videos online showing step by step intructions. Very nice product.

Ali would recommend this product to a friend
I just got first Vortech MP40 today and i cant wait till i can afford another to add it to my tank. even tough i only have one in my 120 gallon tank and i removed my 3 other powerheads this little machine outperforms them all. the short pulse mode is the best and as soon as i can i will get another one.

Feel the wave By Rich on 10/4/12
Rich would recommend this product to a friend
EcoTech Marine is a great company with excellent support and craftsmanship. As a resident of PA, I can say they are nearly in my back yard! The low profile of the MP40(s) replaced my aging Tunze Stream pump. I am very pleased with the low noise, low heat, low profile and HIGH flow of the MP40. Adding the wireless module to my Neptune Systems controller makes the pump very easy to control and program in an infinite combinations of flow.

Worried about price? So was I... By Jay on 9/24/12
Jay would recommend this product to a friend
The vortech was appealing because of its features and the small in tank foot print, But the price was scary! I cant say at almost $500 its a value and it sure did add a bunch of extra cords but over all i am happy. People seemed to have 2 issues with there pumps, that they were loud and too powerful. My pump did quite down after a day or 2 of running but its not what I would call quite, but at lower speeds it blends into the back round. I have a 75 gal tank (48x18x18) and when at one end of the tank even at full blast it doesnt move around the sand or blow water out of the tank. If the pump was 1/2 as much it would be a 5 star buy all the way.
