Don't think they manufacture the MP20s anymore, you might be able to find some old stock, if any.

Personally, I would go with the MP40Wes, its flow rate is 1,000-3,200 gallons per hour. Or an MP40W i you don't care for the EcoSmart (ES) featureset; which offers newer/more operational modes.

Wireless is the communication between multiple Vortechs (drivers) to create waves/surges. Each MP40 is still hard-wired to it's respective driver.

Damn so I will have a wire across my tanks side glass :( I gotta think aboout that now what a bout a tunze with a controller

It's not too bad... with the included tiewraps and adhesive anchors, you can make it fairly neat. I have a rimless so it's more noticeable since I can't hide the cable going horizontally on the upper brace.

You can set the intervals in some of the modes. Here's the list of modes for the MP40Wes: http://ecotechmarine.com/products/vortech-mp40w-es-propeller-pump/
