EcoTech Marine VorTech MP40 Release Information

melev: We have not posted any pictures yet, we are working on getting high quality images. Frankly, I was anticipating more people would post pictures of their new toys :D

Seeing how it is only a magnet holding it on, I think you could pluck it off for a picture, mattseattle. ;)

Here's a picture that a club member took last night at our meeting.

mattseattle: What day did you get yours? Mine has yet to arrive, I was told that it shipped out on April 6th but did not recieve a tracking number. Requested the tracking number again last night but haven't seen it yet.

Edit: Not trying to knock the vendor...because I know that patience is a virtue but so is communication.
 
carpetride - who did you orders you through?

I received mine last Friday the 7th but I paid for 2nd day FedEx to get it quicker.
 
melev - yeah you are right so i went downstairs and plucked it off the tank and took some photos for everyone.

here ya go....

notice in the third picture how it has key hole notches? each of those notches represent a thickness that is on the label. you align the number on the label with the power cord. so if you have a 3/16" thick tank you align that with the cord. there are some pegs on the inside of that piece that go into the Vortech.

it's really simple to do as there is no guessing as long as you know the thickness of your tank.
 
The only flaw I see is that people are receiving these and I am being told that they are not available until May. :(

how about a 1/2-size model for 1/2 the price for the other 90% of reef-keepers who don't have 100+ gallon tanks


just a thought - :D
 
After recieving mine, I can now understand why there have been no pics. I don't even have water in my tank yet and the first thing I did when I got home tonight was put them on my tank to see how they looked. Bummer I will not be able to run them quite yet. I can say that I was a little nervous about how they would look and feel. Ince I opened the box, all my fears went away. These are a solidly built. I took several photos of the unit for sharing. I only have one concern. I have three of these and plan to put them across the back of my 240. I have a black back and I have a feeling it is going to be a pain to line the two halves up.

Thank you for the great pics! I am so trying not to get ticked off that I have been on two waiting lists for these since January and so many people have apparently recieved the pumps already. I have water in my tank and really need these pumps.

Does anyone have any cheese to go with my whine??
 
Thanks for the pictures, sknoch. The final product looks awesome, even better than my beta model.
