mp20 vortech

[blackbeard]

looking to buy one . Any info about durability? noise? delivery to manhattan?

what size tank are you gonna use it for ..i had a mp20 then bought a mp40

Disclaimer: I'm a newbie, my BC29 is 3 months old. My opinion should be taken with a grain of salt.

My MP20 just turned 1 week old (break-in period). Motor can be heard if you put your ear near it. If 20" NEP is on, you will never hear the Vortech. Pretty solid build from what I can tell. Customer Service is top notch from what I've read from other people's report. Mine replaced 2 Koralia 1 in a BC29. Reef crest mode is random flow which, as far as I can tell, the corals love it.

30 gallon but it maybe used later for a 50 or 75. do u have one ? is it louder then a maxi jet?

 

[blackbeard]

whats better 1 tunze or vortech

 

[ecvernon]

my opnion is vortech over tunze because of the built in controlling options. i dont hear my vortech running because i have a blizzard fan running over my sump when it gets too hwarm so i guess that is the only humming noise i hear. if i were you i would get the mp40 instead of mp20. IMO the mp20 works well on tanks less than 36" long. i have a mp4o on my 40 breeder and have it at time up to 60-75% power

[blackbeard]

Does yours make low range humming?

 

[blackbeard]

so I guess no vendors here sell them

Jim and Russ had the MP20 and MP40W @ the NJRC swap. Contact them...

it only makes a humming in short pulse mode. guess it only happens if there is constant starting then stopping. if i run my mp40 full blast on a 40 gallon tank you will hear the humming . IMO it depens on how hard you run it and tank size, guess it has to to with vibrations?

 

[blackbeard]

thank you

i can hear the pump whine when it's speeding up in reef crest mode. not an annoying sound at all but i def hear it.

Thank you Widdy.

If you decide to go with new as opposed to Devious's VorTech, give us a shout.
