Has anyone used the Ecotech Vortech propellers? How well do these work? What other wavemakers are good?http://www.reefspecialty.com/ecotech-vortech-propeller-pump-mp40w-p-152.html

I didnt like them but everyone is different

Reviews are mixed. I have one and love it! I'll be coughing up some cash for another soon

Didn't like mine either.

what is going on in this thread.....

I just received one today. Still feeling it out. There is a slight noise even from the lowest setting for me... Is that normal?

 

[ReefRockerLive]

I tried them and was very disappointed with the loudness coming from the motor. I was originally using Tunze before Vortech, but now went back to Tunze. A much better pump that does not require annual replacements at the owner's cost just to keep them running properly.

I know two people that have them.One of them is Jnarowe and it put a hole in his acrylic tank and the other is mcrab and he was thinking of using duct tape to hold it onto the side of his tank.The magnets don't work properly anymore as I understand and he is having problems with them.He was also saying how they have not returned his e mail or phone call(one of the two).They don't seem to have the best customer service.I was thinking of buying some but I will get the tunze.I have the wave box and that works well.

That does it for me. I'll stay away from them too. What would be good for a 1000 gallon display?

 

[sjm817]

1000G? I'd head on over to the Tunze forum and ask for some advice there.

I have no clue whats going on in this thread but...These pumps have gotten great reviews on this forum.

Are we not talking about the MP40W?

way over priced, 4 way oceanmotions i use ,no noise, just great water flow through out the tank, and very reliable.

 

[TheFallofSidney]

I'm lying down in my room with the tank about 10 ft away. I can't hear a thing from the pump. Flow is insane too lol.

I prefer the vortech flow from a tunze, I think it is much wider and gentler

I don't believe this for a second. They have the best customer service I have ever experienced....
