Ecotechs customer services are quite good in the warranty respect. They will require you to ship the unit in for service if its a big problem.but if its a small part such as a wetside magnet they will send the magnet to you and all you do is open the unit up and replace it yourself. Also it doesnt matter where the unit is, or if it is 2nd hand as long as its still under warranty Ecotech will service it.

Buying from LFS is what i usually do, but for bigger more pricer units, i believe everyone likes to shop around for the biggest bargain.

Id probably be interested in an Mp-40 depending on price.

Would a 40 be too much flow for a 4 foot with a sandbed?

Totally get the MP40, I run an MP20 in my RSM 34g and it might be a little much when on full but I can turn it down to level that I like around 80%

MP40 will allow you more topend then the 20 but you can turn it down to to about what the 20 would be at around 70% - 80%

That's what I plan to use it in. I had some correspondence with Steve from Ecotech and he felt the 40 would be great for a 4 foot tank. Apparently the flow from these is fairly wide and gentle. It looks to me like they use a much larger propeller that turns more slowly to move water rather than a small fast spinning one like the Koralias etc.

Dan at Aquatic Addictions has come through for us. If we can get a total of 12 units he will do the following pricing for us:

MP40w $449.95
MP20 $314.95
Battery Backup $197.99

Dan will want a 50% deposit. I'm just waiting to hear from him as to how long it will take to get them in.

So I will start things off as I am in for an MP40. 11 more to go...

Does this include tax and shipping to my house in vancouver, BC?

Tax is extra but you're going to pay that wherever you buy it. Shipping to you is not included. You will either have to pay extra for shipping or pick it up in Abbotsford or we can try to make some arrangements so that some of us can pick up pumps for others and meet in a convenient location. I come into Burnaby and Vancouver several times each month so I'm sure I could pick some up and meet folks somewhere mutually convenient. Maybe even at one of the Reef Network dinners or something.

Hey, maybe we can convince Dan to come out to the dinner and bring some out :smile:

You could always just pick it up there and go check out their rics....LOL!

edit

Sorry did not know this was for BC residents only




Red Coral has received our shipment of Mp40's and MP 20's.
