Vortech MP40

[xabo]

Any idea as to why a lot of people are selling their MP40's?

 

[krshlln300]

nope but I know I want a mp10 really bad but need to save up first. and get a job too lol. Just graduated college and the market here in PA is bad.

 

[TruReef]

No idea, gonna have to pry them out of my cold dead hands to get mine..

Maybe upgrading to mp60's or downgrading because they dont need them?

 

[Chris27]

Because they can....like Tunze, they have good resale value vs. say a pair of Korailia's.

That's right, just compare the asking price with the buy new price, very close. I would sell every thing out of my tank even the water before I sold my MP40.

I dunno if they are like me, and tried it based on all the praised reviews and how everybody says how good they are. I fell for it and quickly sold them.

They are loud even after three years use and hours of fine tuning alignment. My gf hates them .... I love it they disappear in my tank on the back wall... But flow sucks when placed on rear center of a 65 gallon... And the dry side keeps me from puttin them on the sides of the tank. Ehh maybe I'll add a k4 to each top corner or hide them in the rocks... I only have 20 of them Layin around ...



Back on topic they are selling due to upgrade or downgrade alot bought them and they are to strong

A spare wet side is 100 bucks. (They last about a year in my case.) I think one can sell the MP40 (used) for about 300 to 350 $$ and then compliment the sale money with the same $100 one would spend anyway and end up with all new equipment. As long as the demand for used remains high, this will likely continue.

Not sure but I picked up mine used, and I'm happy with it. A little loud, but tank is in the kitchen far away from the bedroom.

Just all the threads on how superior they are to Brand X. I don't not like them, I just felt i was further ahead with Brand X instead of investing into more vortechs.
They did not make me think I needed to keep them or justify totally switch over. JMO
I am sure a lot do love them, Just not me.

LOL same here! love mine. i dont think mine is loud at all and its across the hall from my room. i can hear it if i look for it but i run mine at 80% - 100%. i want to get a second one to run em both at low since some times i see a funnel of water getting pulled by the mp40 from the surface pretty cool looking but id rather run it lower.

 

[karsseboom]

becuase there worth so much money even when used. So when people are short on cash the first thing they think to sell is there vortechs.

I love my mp40wES, they aren't dead silent but quiet enough for me to sleep with them in my room. :hammer:

I could use one to go with my MP10.
