I'll be getting 2 of them...but my timeline is such that I'm able to wait until they are actually available. It's brutal planning a tank that you know won't have anything in it until Oct or November at best.

Ecotech Marine has released an MSRP on the pump. I'm sure that is new...

$345 USD. http://www.ecotechmarine.com/products/vortech.htm

These are apparently available in the US now. Has anyone seen any in Canada? I would like to give one a whirl.

You can pre-order them from Marine Depot as well.

Is anyone running this pump? If not I'll be forced to buy one.

Marine Depot I know won't ship USPS. Premium Aquatics also has them in, and they do ship USPS.

We are the exclusive distributor of Vortech in Canada,our first batch should be here next week or the week after.(per Icecap)
They are still low in supply & also the new pumps have been changed a bit.
That was done based on the feed back of the consumer,the shaft is made out of a different material now ,which is a lot more durable.
They are great pumps & the controller is being developed for it as we speak.
It will be available only @ select stores ,I will keep you posted as I know more.
If you have any questions please send me PM ,or email @
support@prolineaquatics.com

I've got two in the mail from Marine Depot. They should be here in a couple weeks. I preordered them months ago. I'll post once they're set up.

They are mailing them to you? :biggrin:

The only options on their site are UPS or Fedex, I have contacted them before wanting them to ship postal, they always said they would pass that idea along but couldn't.

you will get a better price ordering from premium aquatics than ordering from a canadian dealer. they will ship usps as well.
