Tank is looking great! Congrats on the new toys as well...You will never want to use anything else besides vortechs once you own them.
hey Bro...thanks a lot for the compliment
And yea....i only heard good things about the Vortech MP40, so i went for it...this is the first time i am ever owning one so will need some figuring out to do and set it up.
I will post the coral reaction to it

Wow Noob, youve filled that tank up almost! It looks incredibly good, nice wqork! As to the vortech having all those settings...blah, after a few months you wont even use them. Youll set it on one mode and maybe switch to another here and there but night mode, dimming, storms and all that mess will just be somthing you had to pay extra for that you never use. Doesnt mean paying extra wasnt worth it though! Mine seams to be getting louder as it ages too. THought that was worth mentioning.

Hi Chris,
Thanks a bunch for the compliment!! I hope I can do justice and make my slice of the ocean something I can be proud of. It's not gonna be easy and still it's in infancy.
Agree with ya on the settings on the Vortech. But its just cool the Ecotech guys have put so much engineering into this equipment. These settings might look overdrive and useless for a small setup like mine, but in a larger setup these varied settings definitely gives the Vortech a big thumbs up and make it stand out from the rest.
And the upgradability factor of the software does makes the future exciting.
Uh..Oh getting louder with time :worried: that's something I don't wanna happen in mine. But the catalogue does say after few days of break in the pump should go silent. There are some trouble shooting tips on the full manual which you have to download from the Ecotech website.
Hope it helps

yeah, well im having the opposite effect. Its not as loud as my mo10 was but its not silent thats for sure! Yeah ive DLed the maual but theres no help there. Its just the noise of a vortech I guess. Strange that its louder than when I got it...I may have just lucked into perfect alignment when I first put it in. Ive moved it a few times since but just cant get it back just right. It vibrates a little too when its at a low speed so it is probably an alignment issue. I dont care, it could be a 2 stroke and id still run it!

Yes seems alignment can be the problem.
Your MP40 is definitely preferring to be "straight"
lolSo stop twisting him into something he is not :hammer:
