AMAZING PUMPS By William on 3/13/12
William would recommend this product to a friend
These pumps are by far the most amazing pump on the market. The ability to adjust the flow and the variety of flow programs is outstanding. They are well worth every penny you spend for them. They are well styled and do not take up a lot of space inside the tank. I give my highest reccomendation for these pumps.

Yikes By Mike on 2/25/12
Mike would recommend this product to a friend
Even though this wireless pump is not wireless (except apparently with one exception that's useless unless you have more than one), is kind of noisy at its highest settings, and is obviously expensive, I love it. I have never seen a product have such a pronounced effect on livestock in the tank. Even the freaking fish are enjoying the "reef crest" flow mode, and the elegance in the middle of my tank has expanded impressively within a few hours. It's a snap to install and use. Looks like I can remove the other clunky powerheads I was using and eliminate the clutter without any problem. And while I can hear it whirring at the higher flow rates, it does not bother me at all. I think the MP40 is a better choice for a 75 reef compared to a single MP10. Even at full blast in reef crest mode, it's not overpowering. I have it dialed back to about 70% and that seems to do the trick.

spendy but the best always is By nathan on 2/21/12
nathan would recommend this product to a friend
1st this pump is to much 400 would be much better (which is why i gave it a 4 in value) with that said i still bought 2 with battery back up and absolutely will never buy anything else. you can do so much with this pump, and the peace of mind you get if the power goes out is very nice.i have heard of a few people complain about the noise but i must say it isn't that bad, don't get me wrong they are far from silent but what do you expect the motor is on the outside of the tank

The "EGG McMUFFIN" of pumps! By SKIDOG on 2/19/12
SKIDOG would recommend this product to a friend
Quickly. They are AWESOME. You see those beautiful tanks on the internet. This is ALOT of their success. My tank went from ""nice" to "INCREDIBLE" after 12 hours of running 2 MP40s. I have a 90gal. I think ECOTECH MARINE shouldn't charge as much for them is the ONLY reason I put 4 stars for value. Don't get me wrong, they are still worth EVERY PENNY! If you have any doubts listen, I held off for quite awhile but now I KNOW I should have PULLED the TRIGGER on this purchase along time ago! 5 STARS PRODUCT!

The best purchase I have made for my tank By Aaron on 2/11/12
Aaron would recommend this product to a friend
This pump is outstanding. I no longer have any algae growth in my main display. All of the detritus is swept up by it's variable speeds and ends up where it belongs, in my sump/ skimmer.
No other pump even remotely compares.
As far as the noise, I can only hear it when it goes above 75%, and it's more of a gentle whur. My overflow is much louder so it does not bother me.

Great Product By Sean on 1/31/12
Sean would recommend this product to a friend
What can I say about this powerhead that hasn't already been said. It's an excellent product that works. The cost is high, but I replaced 4 other powerheads with it and I am getting much better flow.

What else can you say... By Chris on 1/16/12
Chris would recommend this product to a friend
These pumps are awesome. Love the wireless communication with my Radions. The flexibility to make these pumps do exactly what you need is unprecedented. Plus they look great doing it. Little pricey, but a must have for every reef junkey.

WOW !! By maria on 11/26/11

Could have save a lot of time and money if I had just bought this first. Wasted a lot of time and money trying to get the proper flow. These are perfect right out of the box. In five minutes you have all the flow you'll ever need.

Awesome Pump By Jarod on 11/11/11

I love the settings for my aquarium. The pump can actually push more water than my aquarium can handle. If you buy one of these at setup you could arrange your rock to maximize its efficiency.

These pumps are amazing! Already thinking about adding a couple of the MP10's to the back of the tank.

None Better By Corey on 8/21/11
Corey would recommend this product to a friend
Solid pumps inside and out. Wave drivers are very easy to setup and configure. These pumps have a lot of power, I have to turn them down on my 150 tall to keep the sand on the bottom in place. I love these pumps. They don't come cheap, but quality rarely does.

The Best By Todd on 8/7/11
Todd would recommend this product to a friend
I started out with an MP 20 but as soon as the ecosmart Driver came out I upgraded the driver and power supply and now have an MP40 W es . I cant say enough about what this thing has done for my SPS Reef.
My Millepora looks like Cousin It and all my others look fantastic and growing like weeds.
Not to mention the battery backup giving me the security to leave my house for a few days for a trip.

Incredible pump By Tom on 6/29/11
Tom would recommend this product to a friend
I debated buying this for weeks because of the cost. I can honestly say I was so impressed with the 1st one I purchased a 2nd. The really bring the tank to life. NTM keeps the water, rocks, and sand bed clean. Customer service is top notch. I can create up to a 2.5" wave in my 90. Configuration was easy, Only wish that it would integrate with my RKE. Yes they are expensive, but well worth it =).

The only power head I will EVER buy By Heinz on 6/27/11
Heinz would recommend this product to a friend
There are times to try and save money and buy a cheaper alternative but this IS NOT one of them. These pumps are well thought out designed extremely well and have an awesome set of built in programs. It is unobtrusive taking up very little space on the side of the tank; I like to look at my reef not my pumps stretching out into the middle of my tank. They are quiet I have a 75 gallon tank in the bed room and the last thing you need at night is a noisy pump cycling. Save up if you need to but DO NOT buy anything else. For a 75 gallon tank you will need a MP40W ES and a MP10W ES.

Excellent Wave Maker By Siloex on 5/1/11
Siloex would recommend this product to a friend
I think this is the Ferrari of all wave makers. Unbelievable movement and a whole slew of options at your disposal. The thing even has a calm mode to simulate night conditions. This is a little on the expensive side but you definitely get what you pay for with this product.

Well worth the money!!! By Michael on 4/5/11
Michael would recommend this product to a friend
I put off going to these for a long time because of the cost. If I would have bought these to start I would have actually spent less. the wave function is incredible. 2 will make a 1" standing wave in a 6' tank. 1 will handle anything 4' and if your tank is under 4 feet look at mp10's. the flow rate is misleading because it is such a huge push of a wall of water instead if a stream. my frogspawn just sort of wave back and forth in the flow with the pumps set at a little more than half.

Pricey but Fantastic By Shane on 1/8/11
Shane would recommend this product to a friend
The MP40 is a fantastic pump - but pricey. Like most folks, I have a pair of them so they can work off of each other. Very solid build - highly recommend a single or a set of these to folks that have descent sized tanks and like a lot of flow. Be careful with your sand size.

This pump rocks! By Chris on 12/23/10
Chris would recommend this product to a friend
It will send a wave across a 6 foot tank, it's a challenge to program, the service is near perfect, all in all best pump hands down. That said, if you have anything dumb enough to swim into this, your going to loose him.....
The foam covers are cheap/worthless and until Vortech comes out with something better watch out for your inverts!
